Alone is a Beautiful Word

                                  Alone is an Ugly word....

                                                             She was beautiful...

In snow suits and snow boots we trudge through the winter night
Like moths to a fire we head to that lonley street light
We have to leave no care if by bus or by train
Just to get out of this town with no name
                                                 
                                                            Her hands like serpents wrapped around my own
                                                            And my heart was her heart if only on loan
                                                            Then she danced off to the deescalate woods
                                                            Singing a melody only she understood

She walked beside me with her flaxen blond hair
A laugh shudders light throughout the frozen air
And her breath dances out up to the sky
A poetic way of saying goodbye

                                                           Her tears dripped on paper
                                                           With ink of the night
                                                           Her heart always stayed hurt
                                                           And she was never all right

If only it were that simple though
A goodbye so poetic would be too perfect I know
Instead she disappeared with a single nights kiss
Bright rosy red on bright rosy lips.

                                                         Lips of satin
                                                         Ropes draw me near
                                                         I still hear her laughing
                                                         Still feel her fear

She said that she wanted to dance one day
And never again have to be afraid
She never made it on that stage
She only got half way before life turned the page

                                                         Chapter by chapter
                                                         Year after year
                                                         She's writing her story
                                                         Of tears after tears
Alone is an ugly word
She left me like that
Alone in an ugly world
Gone before an eye can bat

                                                        Her chapter has ended,
                                                        but so has this night
                                                        A truth never bended
                                                        When out goes the light

                  But she was truly beautiful....
                                  
                                                        And leaving me alone...
