ALONE - a poem from 02/89

I totally wrote this poem last night. I have no idea why; I wasn't even sad. Well, I guess I was thinking a little about Ben. I try to be sprung over Matt, or JS, or that skiing guy, but really... I think my love for him is an "eternal flame."

Alone
I stand alone
As the sun sinks over the trees.
And I remember
you and me
And the way we used to be
Once upon a time
We stood together
And watched the sun go down
Two shadows hand in hand
So in love, not alone
There's a part of you
and a part of me
Where the sun goes over
the land
Our spirits fly
Across the sky
The only thing changed
Is they're not hand in hand
This time
I stand alone
As the sun sinks over the trees
And I remember
You and me
And the way we used to be

{A note from 2009: Can I just say that this has got to be the WORST of all angst poetry!? Bad rhymes, mentions of sunsets, spirits flying across the sky. I DEFY anyone to submit a worse poem than this. GO ahead; I won't believe it until I read it!}
