Alone Again
It used to be it didn’t bother me
To let you go out at night
And I always led you to believe
It’s good to spend time alone.
But not tonight. Tonight I let you
Know I didn’t want you to leave,
But you went anyway. That makes
The loneliness even worse. Lying
To you is so much easier, just like
Lying to myself. But you need to go
And see your dealer while I sit
Here alone, as I’ve always done.
Originally put on paper for a writing class 1990.
