As humans, we never need be alone
But there’s no one on this street tonight
But maybe I’m behind me
My hope deserts me, like a candle down to a stub
But the wax did not leave it just rearranged
Oh, sweetheart, if you’re ready to forgive me
I think I can forgive you again
This endless tirade, “I love you!”
If you say it one more time I’ll cut out your tongue
Back to alone
Did I ever leave?
(Can loneliness get lonely if I leave her in the rain?)
It might be cold but its better out here
Where at least you can’t tell it’s not rain, but tears
A warm hand takes mine
I look in surprise
A perfect stranger has extended his hand to me
And I…
I was never mine
