My voice echos from within,
I hear the calls from no one but me.
My heart aches for a person,
but I have no such reason.
I walk through the dusty lanes,
watching my reflection on those panes.
I cover myself,
hiding my own self.
My world of darkness,
a place filling up with my sadness.
A savior I need,
please fulfill my greed.
A reason deemed selfish,
but my soul eaten up in anguish.
Won't you save me?
I shalt await thee.
I wrote this poem to describe the feeling of loneliness. In this poem, the feeling of loneliness is the narrator of the poem.

The poet is describing himself in a graveyard where he was all alone when he saw something. The way he describe it really created an image in my mind of what could have happen.
