Alone

He walked her in and backed her chair, He brushed her cheek and touched her hair, They did not see me sitting there; alone. A tiny table just for two, He smiled into her eyes of blue, I kept my tears from breaking through; alone. He reached across and took her hand, Now this was more than I could stand, Just take the exit I had planned; alone. But I was frozen to this sight, Of true love on this chilly night, They never knew my envied plight; alone. This small café once knew our name, We did those things, we felt the same, Now I’m a stranger to this game; alone. At last they did vacate their space, Another couple took their place, No more of this scene could I face; alone. I walked into the dreary night, The road ahead no end in sight, You’re gone and now I face this fight; alone. Beside the lane outside of town, There on the grass up on the ground, I gently lay your flowers down; alone. Then back home to my humble lair, With memories of you everywhere, I’ll think of you and we’ll be there; alone. georgiaHendrixshockley
