Alone Again
a poem
by Alex Cooper

I sit alone yet again
In the dark shadows of the night
I smile to myself and clutch my blanket tight

Thoughts of how it used to be
Running through my mind
How you would lie down next to me
Or how you would sneak up on me from behind

I often find myself wishing you were still here
I wish that you would come back and take away my fear

It is so unfair
You died too young
And your death is something I can't bare

You were more than a boy friend
You were a best friend a true friend
You stayed with me till your life came to an end

Now my smile fades away
And tears fill my eyes
I look up at the skies
And wonder why

Why did you have to go so soon
Now all I have is this sweet tune
I sing it softly and slowly
All that happens is I feel more lowly

If I could take your place up there
I would know that God has heard my prayer
I would have so much Joy
Knowing that your mom had been given back her Little boy

So if you here me now
Please ask God if he could make my wish come true
Let him know how I miss you
And tell him I don't want to sit alone again
