Heart Of The Matter
Alone Now
I've locked up; I've switched off the T.V.,
Like so many others will do,
The end of another sad evening,
The end of a long lonely day,
Six years ago now,
I'm still counting,
Six years since he went on his way,
It doesn't seem long,
Yes, it's no time at all,
Since we walked hand in hand,
Round the bay,
We'd stop, share a kiss,
Warm and tender,
Watch, as the tide took us in,
And fooled us with dreams of tomorrow,
Never thought,
I'd be here without him ….
The walk round the bay,
Seemed so empty,
The atmosphere wasted on one,
The full moon at night,
Shining ever so bright,
Yet somehow,
It now looks forlorn ….
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I make my way back to the house now,
Close the curtain to shut out the view,
I busy myself in the kitchen,
To stop me from thinking of you,
I sit on the bed, check alarm clock,
All the little things you used to do.
I get into bed, still on my side,
Still leaving, your side, free for you,
I whisper goodnight to your picture,
God Bless, and I still love you so,
I lay down my head on my pillow,
And your pillow, I think on, as you.
