“Lonely”

---

I’m the lonely one now,

For my heart breaks,

---

And my eyes weep tears,

That create pools of water

That rival the ocean.

Such sorrow and pain,

Such agony and treason.

Can anyone truly understand?

---

I ask you now,

Why did you disappear?

Why did you leave me,

On this island all by myself,

Without even a word of goodbye,

Or sympathy?

---

So what was the point of lying?

Was it some sick sense of sadism?

No that couldn’t have been it,

For you didn’t watch me cry.

---

Why didn’t you tell me back then?

I would have forgiven you!

Instead you lied,

And then broke our relationship.

---

I can’t believe your audacity!

Was I nothing?

Or was I some sort of game?

---

Why do women have to lie?

Why can’t they be honest and direct?

And say what they mean,

Instead of dancing around the issue.

---

All I wish is you could have been there,

To comfort me,

Now that I’m all alone!

---

So many things I wanted to do with you,

So many places I wanted to visit,

So much I wanted to show you.

---

Yet you threw that all away.

And now I am the lonely one.

---

You don’t even care!

Do you?

---

You’ve made me

into a shadow of a man,

who cannot trust.

Though I will recover,

And be better one day,

---

There is a hole in my heart now,

I have sorrow,

Now.

---

And now alone I sit,

Pondering memories of you.
