Separate and Alone

by derek

In the beginning there was only you
balled up tight in your mothers womb
safe as only the young can be
in a world people free.

In the end only you
alone in your tomb
nothing keeping you from beyond
nothing unexpected to cause you harm.

But how about the in between
do you mean to spend it alone - like it seems?
wrapped for all time in your cocoon
pinning away for how it was in the womb.
