Known to no one
Known by someone
Living
Guiding my life.
Appreciative of the guidance
Acknowledge my life
Is held
By a gentle spirit
Orchestrating
Orchestrating me
The best
The best life.

I am only all alone
when I feel my heartbeat fall
like a stone onto pavement
cold and bleak.
No words are spoken
nothing to repeat
my sobs, my cries unheard
for they fall down
cracks residing deep beneath.
Known to no one
no one hears their woeful cries
no one reaches to save
I am only all alone.
