#FrightWriters First Writing Prompt

All Alone

by Tad Kelson


All alone
once again
taking no time at all to discuss
how to rectify this situation
All alone
Once again
Sitting there waiting
Just wiating for
Anyting to come around
To visit
To alleviate the
time spent
all cold and damp
all alone
There is not a way to say
Just how it all ended up thsi way
Time leaching
the marrow
Distance leaching
The joy of breathing
Cold leaching the heat of life
the Trees leaching the minerals from the remnants
of the living
All alone
there in the water
the mosses and fungi
too afraid to even
take root
as the bones are bleached
of color
Death is not the color black
Death is the color of rot and decay
White is the color of
being all alone
forever
