No One
Jennifer Howard

No one to tap at my window
No one to leave roses by my door
No one to write me poetry
No one to hold me safe, secure

No one to visit on dreary summer days
No one to keep me warm
No one to share my dreams with
No one to be waited for

No one to listen to my songs
No one to hear me sing
No one to save me from nightmares
No one to hear me scream

No one to put their arms around me
No one to hold me tight
No one to cuddle up with
No one to tell me "It's alright"

No one to get my hopes up
No one to let me down
No one to say I'm selfish
No one to be the clown

No one to touch my pale skin
No one to stroke my hair
No one to help me feel lovely
No one to say they care

No one to see the night sky
No one to watch the stars
No one to catch the fire flies
No one to share my scars

No one to dance with in the rain
No one to hold my hand
No one to see my true self
No one
             Alone
                        I am
