There Were None

I looked and saw none for me
Not another soul, no company
The lonesome night which lay ahead
A night which became the life
No there were none ever present
None willing to fight and be in place
By my side the emptiness
Which filled my soul, my heart
Shadowed my dreams, my thoughts
However loyal or gentle I tried
Whatever I promised to be
I always looked and all I did ever see
In the vastness of the night
In the tomb of a life
That the were none for me
As I died in the midst of solitary
