Alone

ALONE Passing a shop window I look the other way Fear of my reflection Alone again this day A table set for four or five I can be and entertain But a table laid for two Is too lonely, I abstain A wedding invitation Arrives with a plus one No longer Mr and Mrs An excuse now to be spun Each night to our bedroom I force myself to go My heart is full of sadness Of this loneliness I know Arms hang idle by my sides Missing your every touch Holding hands connected us Each time held a loving crutch On the day you left this earth Sent another world to grace I knew there would never be Another to fill your place
