Besides Me

I was alone,

Sitting in the shadows,

People passed me by and let

Me weep, in the dark and without

Someone to take my hand and

Tell me that it would be okay,

And the end wasn't coming

And that people still cared.

The sun slipped behind a

Cloud, and the shadows

Deepened, but still no

One came to help me,

Until the moon rose

Up in the sky, and

Someone I didn't

Know came and 

Sat beside

Me.
