Alone

For all the world is gone

And all the world is dead

Only I remain

And I am alone



 

 

Just something that's been floating around in my head for a few days. Actually, what's really been floating around would be in Afrikaans, not English. Being one of the two languages I grew up with, and the one used primarily at home, a lot of things I think up randomly such as that above does come out in Afrikaans. But still, I'm not sure if anyone reading this would understand it (and the fact that I'm not very well with writing Afrikaans for whatever reason, even though I can read/speak it fine) so there's the English version.

 

The thing is, that little poem (is it even a poem? I'm not sure if it is) sounds so familiar, like I've heard it before somewhere but can't remember where. But according to a Google search, it's not on the internet, so I'm not sure I have. And no one that I know would ever come up with anything like this, so I'm kind of stumped to where it even came from. If anyone does recognize it though, please tell me.
