Alone and Lonely
I am alone without you
Days long and lonely without you
"Must be crazy" whispered my neighbour
in a sly tone.
I must have been muttering to myself again.
I want to unburden my heart
But who will listen to me
The walls answer with a determinate silence,
But the whistling kettle breaks the silence
My morning tea, my morning ritual was set.
I am alone and lonely
Oh yeah! the phone, but it further reminds me of your absence;
Who will need a phone when you are present.
I am alone and lonely,
Pictures on my table, depicting moments in time,
Yet no respite, no relieve I am still lonely.
I had thought that being alone could give me quietness,
Alas I was wrong, the more quiet it got the more noise I got in my mind.
My soul's anchor has not berthed, until my soulmate comes home to roost.
But I am alone and lonely.
My heart races to collapse the days remaining to meet my soulmate.
I hasten my departure as the twilight of my loneliness appears on the horizon.
No more to be alone.
No more to be lonely
