"Alone"

In my freshman year of college, I met a girl (yeah, I know) and we dated. My first (and so far only) girlfriend broke up with me suddenly with no real reason given to me. This poem was written shortly after that.

-------------------

Here I am, all alone
scared and frightened
ever so alone

She has left, she has gone
and my heart cries out with pain and sorrow
time heals all they say,
but time will never take her completely away

Can anyone help?
Is anyone there?
I need someone to help and understand

As I sit all alone
scared and frightened
ever so alone

I hear a voice cry out...
"Come my son, come and never be alone again
I will help. I can drive the pain and loneliness away"

I look up and see a radiance and
love that shines like the sun...
Can it be that there is someone who understands...
someone who will help and comfort me...

No, it cannot be...no one understands...
"My beloved son, I do understand and can
comfort you."

Then I turn and the light penetrates me...

She is gone, she has left me...
I still hurt if I think
but I am filled with the love of my Lord.
