Heavy Weight Loneliness and the Cure

Tonight loneliness rest heavily on me
While your silence screams loudly
A deafening message that you don't care
Adding to the weighty shroud of the night
As the nighttime darkness takes me hostage
Surrounding and engulfing me deeper and deeper
Into a sad and lonely, self-depreciating depression
Which has only a single cure
You and your love . . .

While the TV Blares On . . .

Watching TV through the night
Until the wee hours of the morning
As I do most every night
Until I finally drop off to sleep
Into a sad totality of lonely fatigue
And into a fitful no mans land
Of nightmares and dreams
Rife with a frightful fear of losing you
Coupled with a prayerful hope
Of having you once again by my side
And winning your love
Instead of dropping off to sleep
All alone in an easy chair
Or on the floor
While the TV blares on . . .

I Love Life and I Love You

I love life
With it's ups
And it's downs
I love you
With a love thats true
And so profound
I love to watch you
When you walk
And I'm all ears
When you talk
I love to caress you
With my eyes
And you touch my heart
With your sighs
You know that I love you
With all my soul
To win your love
Is my goal
I have loved you always
Right from the start
You are the owner
Of my heart
I love you . . .

Another Day of Fantasy and Tears

Even though we are miles apart
I walked and talked with you today
And in my mind it was a day full of fun
A day whimsy, laughter, and play
Yet, albeit, the truth be known
Today I was all alone
But I pretended you were by my side
Yet, when my fantasy lapsed
I soon collapsed and hung my head and cried

You Called Me Tonight and I Smiled

I'm smiling from ear to ear
Because I was so happy to hear
Your voice when you called tonight.
You made my heart is happy
And though it sounds sappy
Your voice put a song in my heart.
And though I may be a dope
Your call gave me hope
That soon we'd be together again.
So tonight I'll have dreams
All void of night screams
Envisioning you by my side.
And as I sleep I will smile
With a smile as broad as a mile
Because of your call tonight.

Today's Forecast: Overcast and Sunny

Today's weather forecast:
A cloudy and cold overcast day, again . . .
But in my mind and heart I looked for sunshine
And I found some glimmers of hopeful light
As I thought of you, remembering times past
While I hoped and prayed for bright future times
With you and I together, sharing life and love
A sunny future melting the clouds, cold and gloom
And so my cloudy and cold overcast day was sunny . . .
A fine weather forecast that warms my heart

Midnight Vigil Revisited

It has begun, the beginning of another midnight vigil . . .
Wondering when or if you will call, or if you even think of me?
Wondering if your heart will ever soften and allow me back in?
Wondering if I am destined to spend every night in such quandary?
Yet, hoping and praying that one day we will back in each others arms . . .
And that you will love me as you once did and solice can be found
And love between us will once again abound
But in the meanwhile nighttime and my midnight vigil will be my curse
And loneliness will be my companion . . .

A Hope and a Prayer for You and me and our Home

A big roomy house and money in the bank
With closets full of lots of nice things
And a fridge and pantry loaded with good eats
But all are worth zero when they aren't shared
Leaving me sad and alone and feeling scared
Yet, hoping and praying that you will return
To give both me and us a second chance
At building a life and a love together
And return our home to a place full of life
Where I'll be your husband and you'll be my wife

My Loneliness Fits Like A Shoe

You are gone
Off on a trip
I feel all alone
My heart has a rip
So, I sit by the phone
But will you call?
Only time will tell
So, here I sit
Feeling like hell
But what's new?
My loneliness
Is all that I have
It fits like a shoe

Please Call - Please Come Home

You are gone
Off on a trip
I feel all alone
My heart has a rip
So, I sit by the phone
But will you call?
Only time will tell
So, here I sit
Feeling like hell . . .
Please call, please call
This is my plea
And please come home
Please remember me
And remember the road
On which you have traveled
And please come home
Before I become unraveled
