Lonely

Lonely

The door of the small flat closes

Behind me with a familiar click

I think of a prisoner

being locked in his cell for the night

Tomorrows are all a repeating yesterday

Inside my head I hear myself

Speaking words of love to my lover

The one I have yet to meet

I hear music playing in my heart

Love songs that are all for you my love

I am in love with you

So much in love –I sigh

The noise from the street below

Returns me to here and now

Emptiness falls like evening shadow

Over my glowing heart

I see us out for a picnic

Our children playing by the water

Your hand slips into mine

I turn and smile a promise of love

I am all yours my love

Every fiber of me I whisper

The alarm wakes me from the dream

Gentle music says awaken

It’s a new day a new beginning.

But I know it is a lie

Will it ever become the truth
