Alone Poem by Jennifer Runner

Crawling into this bed,
Alone again tonight,
I am a survivor but,
It is a long lonely fight,

Knowing that in the,
Morning I will awake,
With only my own,
Bed that I need to make,

Creeping down the stairs,
In this big house so still,
Hoping that it isn’t long,
Before these wounds heal,

Taking time to stop for me,
Instead of the chaos before,
Thinking about all I have,
Not wanting anything more,

Moving forward and still,
Trying to figure it all out,
Looking to the future to,
See what it’s all about,

Knowing that I am not,
Totally here all alone,
Because to my kids this is the,
Home they have always known.
