Lonely Woman

Home is the past

Uncertainty is the future

Love is but a pipe dream

And dreams are wild wishes

Made upon a fallen star

Watch it crash, then

Disappear.

 

Why must you walk miles

For someone refusing to take a single step

Forward? Why pin hopes on

Human’s beings like yourself

Lonely and searching

Don’t think they wont leave you

When the sun rises,

Even your shadow disappears

In the absence of light.

 

Wander endlessly then,

Searching for home

In others

Collapsing into yourself

When they leave you

Lost and lonely again

 

O lonely woman

Your sadness is a thing of beauty

You weep silver tears

For men not worth the pennies

On the dusty floor.

Doesn’t it feel like,

Your world has crashed so many times

You wonder why you are still

Standing

 

Remember when you weren’t sad?

When everything and everyone

Was golden

Your laughter so enchanting

That spirits came from afar

Just to listen

Stop telling yourself

That you are lacking, missing

Something.

Love is within you

Love begins to

Heal all the ugly scars

On your heart.

Home is the place

Where love resides

Look inside

Yourself.
