Just Another Poem After Antother Day

Nothing Left for Tears

How alone is alone?
How much pain can you bear?
By heart and soul can you be crushed?
How much can they see with their stares?
To confess yourself?
To tell them how you feel,
Only pain seems to abide,
Only sorrow can be real.

To understand is too much to ask.
To hide from the pain,
Is a relief that will never last,
And help they will not deign.
Empty inside with no place to hide,
How alone do you feel with all caring past?
How alone can you be,
With a pain that will ever last?

-Haylee C. Toland
