Alone

Sitting alone in the dark
Only light is the flicker of the tv
The sounds of cars and trucks go by
The sounds of people on the street drift up through the open windows
Sitting alone in the dark.

Laying alone in the dark
The bed covers are now cold
Only one body remains in this bed
Will another occupy the other side
Laying along in the dark.

Walking alone in the dark
Passing lovers on the street
Watching her curl her body against his as they walk
Watching him grip her closer
Walking alone in the dark.

Sitting alone in the dark
The other half the couch empty
Only sound is the snow on the TV
Only one heart beat heard.
Sitting alone in the dark.
