Alone in a Happy Home

As she sits on the busy street corner

she feels the emptiness of her happy home.

She watches and waits and she wonders

how a so-called love could make her feel so alone.

She bites her nails and taps her toes

and asks herself, after love grows where it goes.

So she flees and flies miles from her vacant heart

in a hope of finding something to catch fire, a new start.

 

But as she flies she feels the pain of those with

disapproving glares,

and she stares

out the window, but can't see past the facade that she'll

once again wear.

 

With no luck, she returns to her shattered dreams.

her heart continues to rip at the seams.

A happy home, they call it.

A hell hole, to be correct.

Not once does he swoop down to kiss her neck.

 

The loneliness rising,

the free air calls her name.

Unable to look past her peers and her fears,

she has only herself to blame.

 

So she sits alone in her happy home

Alone, alone again.
