Alone

A poem submitted by Mark Quinton (chatroom name: MadQ)

My Queen



It is dark, 

and I am all alone 

why o why - am I on my own?



My bed is cold,

with no-one to warm it

how did I end up like an old hermit?



Maybe it was when

I decided to speak for myself

instead of being that tool on the shelf



Coz thats all I am, 

I'm used then I am put back

just like I am a damn convenient snack



I spoke my mind

And where did it leave me 

All on my own with no-one to cuddle me



My friends left

I didnt pay them any attention

So Im paying the price of complete desertion



When together

She wanted me to herself only

So my friends were told to stay away completely



So I've no-one now

It's my own fault in a lot of ways

I'm trying to fix it but nobody ever stays



I try too hard

At trying to be friendly and the best

And scare everyone one away with my eagerness



My time will come

Of that I am sure - I think

I will live again - I do not need a shrink



I am strong

I do not need anybody

I am an island with total self-sufficiency



Who am I fooling

My island needs a loan

Like a stray dog that needs a bone



I need a farmer

I need someone to cultivate

To grow with me and to stop my hate





Who will it be?

Are you gonna be my queen

To turn my dying island - Green



Green with life

Life full of meaning

Makes me whole with a new beginning



Thank you!!!

AAAAAH! I feel so good

At last I feel the way that I should.



Life is great

When you have a partner

And better still if that person loves ya  !!
