Orphaned

Today, 
I feel, am orphaned...
orphaned before time...
before age....
before I could grow enough 
to take care of myself....

I am orphaned by distance,  
to misery, 
to memories which never subside.

I am orphaned by silence..
to lawless collisions with fate,

and 
to be in absolute solitude, 
to seek my answers alone, 
and never see the new dawn...

I am orphaned by love,
which could never grow,
care which you could never
show,
I am orphaned, yes I am....
