Alone- Found Poem By Jacquelyn Dame and Alyssa Cachuela

One eye open, 
One still in a dream. (21)
All fell silent. (57)

Silence. (21)

She would stay
and wait. (45)
Until the stars
were dragged down again. (45)

Memories.

All too late.  (12)
The time has come.(19)
A packet of souls (12)

Dead. (21)

Her brother was dead. (21)
He couldn’t be dead. (23)
This isn’t happening.
This isn’t happening. (21)

Broken. (24)

She was a lost child
In a foreign place. (32)
Her voice lumpy,
From lack of use. (259)

Abandoned. (32)

They have punctured hearts. (5)
They have beaten lungs. (5)
The ones who are left behind. (5)

Alone.
