The Lonely Glass

There are two glasses of wine on the stand One for me and the other for somebody dear Time ticks slow waiting for him to be near Sadly nobody seems to be coming at hand. Outside the sun fades away for the day Night awakens with the moon and stars My heart cries unaided for you to be afar No calls or quests were left from you today. I empty one glass of red wine for comfort The solitary cup remains for his return home One can only wonder weather he is alone Maybe these thoughts will only be an effort. Desolately I dimmed the lights in the room Why can’t you come home and be with me I have been waiting for a long time you see You left me once, twice would be too soon. I closed my eyes only to dream of yesterday You cradled me gently in your arms all night A whisper of kindness assured me all is alright When I would wake, your smile came my way. Gently a soft voice upset my restless sleep I shrugged it off and kept sleeping sound Then a kiss forced me to turn around A man stood before and I could only weep. The lonely wineglass was now no longer full Two unfilled glasses stood facing each other And a couple walked off with one another Sorry the story has to end, life is no longer dull.
