The Lonely Glass
There are two glasses of wine on the stand
One for me and the other for somebody dear
Time ticks slow waiting for him to be near
Sadly nobody seems to be coming at hand.
Outside the sun fades away for the day
Night awakens with the moon and stars
My heart cries unaided for you to be afar
No calls or quests were left from you today.
I empty one glass of red wine for comfort
The solitary cup remains for his return home
One can only wonder weather he is alone
Maybe these thoughts will only be an effort.
Desolately I dimmed the lights in the room
Why can’t you come home and be with me
I have been waiting for a long time you see
You left me once, twice would be too soon.
I closed my eyes only to dream of yesterday
You cradled me gently in your arms all night
A whisper of kindness assured me all is alright
When I would wake, your smile came my way.
Gently a soft voice upset my restless sleep
I shrugged it off and kept sleeping sound
Then a kiss forced me to turn around
A man stood before and I could only weep.
The lonely wineglass was now no longer full
Two unfilled glasses stood facing each other
And a couple walked off with one another
Sorry the story has to end, life is no longer dull.
