It's a Love/Hate Thing

Loneliness is a bitter draught

It comes in waves, filling me with dread

It hits me hard, when it ought not.

 

How do I get this feeling out of my head?

When day after day I come home to an empty bed

Empty like the dark sky under city lights

No stars in my bed to make me feel right

 

So again I am the supplicant

Beating my fists at fate

Why does love seem to hate--

Me?

 

Me--no we--no he and I

Just my lonely self standing at the door

Waving goodbye.
