Only Me

The wordless night, the empty road,
The misty view, the shuddering breeze,
The ghoulish trees, the moving shadows,
The scurrying legs, the pacy breath,
And only me, the lonely me.

The vast sea, the pouncing tides,
The wrecked boat, the rising water,
The desperate hands, the broken mast,
The choked voice, the drowning life,
And only me, the lonely me.
