To Be Muted & Alone

A lonely feeling
encompasses me.
I feel as if I'm in
a dark and dreadful dream.

The colors are
all muted and dull.
A minute ticks by
in hours.
And that, too, is numb.

My soul aches
so badly
when, I'm here
all alone.
I wish for just a spark of light,
here in this dark hole.

Everyone has abandoned
me,
left me here alone.
Why didn't anyone care?
Why did they just watch me cry?
And, when you were the only one
left,
why did you decide to watch me die?
