{ alone lake }

HE never dreamed he'd be the last survivor, 
But one-by-one, the others left, or fell; 
The world changed colors, marking new arrival -- 
What some call autumn, but which he calls Hell 

But we don't get to pick most circumstances 
Affecting those around, their ins, their outs -- 
And it gets very hard, keeping perspective 
With no one left to reassure 

Our doubts
