Dead, alone

Falling to earth
the red spiraling in the air,
perfectly formed tear drop
till it hit the floor,
and joined the pool of hate
and despair,
the pain tells me I’m still alive
even if I feel dead inside,
I hold myself close
as I have no one to do it for me,
I don't let anybody see
that I’m alone,
so alone,
I put on my brave face
which I keep by the bed,
but there is no glimmer in my eye
because I am, dead.
