PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

whether by choice

or no fault of our own

sooner or later

we all sleep alone



surrounded by darkness

and fed by the gloom

we all wake up early

alone in our room



the thing that we reach for

is so far away

just close your eyes softly

and pray for the day



mutter your prayers

to whomever you choose

but despite your best efforts

sometimes you lose ...



because whether by choice

or no fault of our own

sooner or later

we all sleep alone ...
