Alone

He left me all alone

He didn't mean to make me feel so alone, abandoned

But he's damaged me, abandoned me

Neglected me

There's a cotton candy sky begging my attention

No one is ever here to take care of me

I turn my face away

No one ever listens

The cricket's hum verifies that I'm all alone
