Alone and All Alone

Alone in my thoughts, I waited on the railway bench
Oh, my muddled mind started surveying past,
Yes, it was a year ago we sat there sharing hearts
On that same bench, her reminiscence all around

Grace was her other name, a bubble of infinite grace
I heard in her every talk, strains of plaintive music,
A girl I adore a lot, an eternal love we promised to share,
But my gilded lies failed to die, and in time, my eyes failed to shine.

Oh! Is it me or her?
Who wants to break away?
Beneath the ticking clock
Again we met to wrangle.
Moment of anger..
And of ego..
At present alone I sat..
A midday sun of misery..
Alone and all alone..

I'm wrapping my peanut brain around 'a bubble of infinite grace.' Must be a celestial-type image, as it's beyond this earth-hugger. lol. Thanks, Jenish :) gw

with her not alone though alone in departing; why so sad where in self not alone though alone with love; sometime our ego makes us very sensitive and blind about frustration in life and catastrophe comes with very mournful news .....
