The Lonely Passage

Overall, this poem serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of companionship and the fear that many people share about dying alone.

In the quiet of the night,

As I lay in my bed,

Thoughts of my future

Swirl around in my head.


What if I end up alone,

In a nursing home one day?

What if no one is there,

When I take my final breath and pass away?


The thought of dying alone,

Terrifies me to my core,

As I imagine my final moments,

Without anyone I adore.


Will I be forgotten,

Just a name on a wall?

Will my life have meant nothing,

As I take my final fall?


The fear of dying alone,

Is a heavy weight to bear,

As I hope that someone will be there,

To hold my hand and show they care.


So I cherish the moments now,

With family and friends,

Hoping that when my time comes,

My fear will come to an end.
