One Man Island - October 16, 1990 by Laura Knight
Sometimes one may seem so close
Yet, in reality, is miles away
Overshadowed by a memory's ghost
Yearning for a bright new day.
Adventurers always roam
Never being truly content
Never feeling a peace of home
Wondering what true love meant.
Watching many life-long friends
Share their lives together
Knowing that the love they send
Will live and die together.
Wondering if you'll ever know true love
Wishing to be lost in a starlit sky
Dreaming of worlds high above
Fearing that alone you'll die.
Difficult to rely on anyone
Knowing one day again you'll leave
Hoping you won't hurt a single one
When they find out how you've deceived.
