Lone Verse

I am alone, a lone verse
A stanza of laughter and tears alike,
Read, judged, discarded; now here, now gone,
I am alone.

I am a lone object, a rock,
Found too wanting, wanting too much;
A sponge, absorbing all, a thirsty stone;
I am alone.

I am a lone, laughing, rhyming song,
Seen and read, and enjoyed by all,
Needed by all, wanted by none -
I am alone.

I'll always be a lone verse,
A comical model of the universe's errors,
Hope my curse, ignorance my bane,
Walking through hell, alone.

I am a lone verse
A tragedy of errors and doomed
To forever exist
Alone.
