When I saw you alone,
I was standing alone.
I walked over alone.
I asked if you wanted
To be alone together.

Your body feels good lying next to mine,
Though I know it's all I'll get tonight.
Gee, your body feels good next to mine.
I wonder, wonder who's on your mind.

Did he leave you alone,
Or did you leave him alone
Like she left me alone?
I asked if you wanted
To be alone together.

Your body feels good lying next to mine,
Though I know it's all I'll get tonight.
Gee, your body feels good next to mine,
So warm and cozy this lonely night.

Do you think he's alone?
I don't think she's alone.
She doesn't care if I'm alone,
So I asked if you wanted
To be alone together.

The breeze moves the curtains.
It carries whispers like fingers
Across barely touching skin.
We don't care, and we won't care
Until we care again.

Your body feels good lying next to mine,
Though I know it's all I'll get tonight.
Gee, your body feels good next to mine.
I wonder, wonder who's on your mind.

Your body feels good lying next to mine
Though I know it's all I'll get tonight
Gee, your body feels good next to mine
So warm and cozy this lonely night.

I'm gonna try,
And I'm gonna fail.
Then I'm gonna try, try, try,
And I'll try again.

I'm gonna lose,
Time and again.
But, I'm gonna keep playing, baby,
Because someday I'll win.

The longer it takes,
The sweeter it will taste.
The prize is the flavor,
And it's love that I'll savor.

So, if you brush me aside,
Just know I'll be waiting,
My patience, enduring
And love, unabating.

My faith, my desire,
Knows no limitations.
You'll know me one day,
Meanwhile, no lamentations.

As rises the sun,
With certain precision,
And shine do the stars,
Through the vast expansion,

I'll be just like clockwork,
I won't let you down.
When you need someone be to be there,
Know I'll be around.

I sorta needed you, baby.
I kinda wanted you, dear.
I hoped you would call on me,
When you wanted someone near.
I guess it wasn't my time,
And maybe he's who you want.
It's sad that you gave in
To his virtueless vaunt.
These grapes are not sour.
They are sweet on the vine.
My love in undaunted.
Still, here I wait.
I wish that he could make you happy.
He doesn't have what it takes.
The moment you know that,
Then know I await.
From under the viaducts,
And the shadows beyond the stage,
Behind heavy curtains,
Let my love asage.

You know we should crash like the cymbal.
You know we should anger the Sea.
You know that the sky should rumble
In praise of our unity.

I'll keep thinking that I'm next to you,
Cause sometimes thinking is all a man can do.
I'll long for your embrace,
If you would only give me grace,
I would give my world to you.

They say it's where the heart is,
But I don't know
Exactly what my part is,
Which way to grow.

They say it's where the heart is,
But your love has flown,
From it's guilded caging,
And I'm all alone.

It would be so easy
If you come on home.
It would be so easy,
Like a sigh before a moan,
It would be so easy,
If you throw your dog a bone.
It would be so easy,
Easy as home.

Before, the Earth was quaking;
I'm I a one and then you're done?
I'm waking and I'm baking,
And I'm not sure that I'm done.

I miss the nights we’d spend
Together on our own.
Sometimes, the creaking floorboards,
When you'd sneak in, late for home.

All I do is wonder now,
What more can be done
To convince you where your heart should be,
With me here at home.

It would be so easy
If you come on home.
It would be so easy,
Like a sigh before a moan,
It would be so easy,
If you throw your dog a bone.
It would be so easy,
Easy as home.

If I cannot write, and edit without this format kicking me to some page asking me to request an invite, though I have been submitting content for nearly a decade,
HelloPoetry can kiss it.

What good are you now?

Fix your glitches and I will consider a reconsolidation.

I'm pretty ****** at the moment.

Don't think that I can't see
What lies beneath, what lies beneath.
Don't bother telling lies.
The once held sacred trust
Has long been breached.

And don't you think I'm a fool
That you're playing me for.
I've been giving you forgiveness,
But I've known the score.
Oh I just know that you'll tell me
You won't cheat anymore.
Don't ask me for forgiveness;
I don't have anymore.

There isn't any left to say.
Are you still here?
You should go away.
You should carry on
And live your life without me.
I'm going to carry on with me.

This is not a break-up.
We never truly were together.
Isn't that what you always say?
Are you still here?
You should go away.

Little bitty nothing loves
Are nothing like what is really love.
You've never known how to really love.
And underneath the drama that you're putting out, pointing fingers and deflecting,
Are nothing like the number of divorces in the future that you're sure to have.

Why don't you save it for the judge.

All the seconds that we've wasted
Looking at each other's faces,
Then one day we said, "Hello."
Never close the curtain on this show.

We made friends, then we made love.
We made war, you were above.
You said you were letting go.
You closed the curtain on this show.

The glistening in your corner eye
Becomes a tear that you cry.
I ask you why you have to go.
You close the curtain on this show.

Wall-to-wall the city beats
With hearts and footfalls on the streets.
I'm alone now, they all know.
You've closed the curtain on this show.

Like veins in arms, the avenues
Are winding anywhere, but you.
I wander with no place to go.
You've closed the curtain on this show.

Maybe someday I'll be seen,
Floating stillness in the stream.
Tangled in a bed of stone,
Having closed the curtain on this show.

You see, I've got the heart of a poet in this chest.
I'll be a writer til they lay me down to rest.
Don't let my words ever die.
Sing them day and night.
Let them keep teaching,
Preaching, reaching...
Crying out for love,
Crying out for life,
Fearing for loss of life,
Because of awareness of mortality.
Inspiration for the hopeless
Gives a sense of immortality.
Nobody really ever wants to face the truth.
The truth is hard to face and if you say it,
You will be chased away because it causes too much pain.
Nobody has really ever said it.
We could all save a lot of trouble; Forego the heartache if we would.

It's not loneliness we dread.
It's the thought of being dead.

Is there enough food for me?
Is there shelter from the elements?
Is there health when I am ill?
Is there warmth in wintry chill?
Is there drink when I am dry?

Would it be aweful if we stopped creating life?
What will it matter when the last heart has beaten for the last time?

Have you never asked these questions in the dark?

Is a life from which you are isolated
In some desolate location
A blessing to your life
Or a mere aberration
Really matter much
When you see it on your screen?
Will you see it in your dreams?
Will you let them fade away,
As we all fade away,
As I will fade away,
As you fade away?
