I'm alone-
where my friends have ventured off to
I do not know

I'm alone-
the angry buzzing has finally stopped
now only leaves lay below

I'm alone-
surrounded at one time
all that's left is this black crow

I'm alone-
I glance around, but
I remain the single one in my row

I'm alone-
I've held out the longest
where did they all go?
