My Words

One cold, lonesome night...

            Many a desolate year ago.

A solitary soul cried out:

            “Am I doomed to walk through life alone?”

It was a cry to shatter the hardest of hearts

            And melt the most frozen of souls.

The mere thought of being forever alone

            Brought tears to anyone’s eyes.

How sad and unfortunate

            For someone never to feel love.

 

The bright stars of the Night

            Looked down upon this weary creature.

They felt sorrow for her...

            And so granted her a single wish.

From the depths of her heart...

            Came the unspoken desire of the young woman:

“May my words touch and warm

            All who would read them...

That they may never feel...

            The loneliness I have been forced to face.”
