"ALONE"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

I keep thinking about
the day we said goodbye
you closed the door
and slowly left my life

I try to blind myself
with these little white lies
of you and me
'cause I'm afraid to cry

ALREADY MISS THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
AND I'M TRYING HARD TO REALIZE
THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE THERE TONIGHT
AND WHEN, WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW
THE BED WILL BE EMPTY AND SO COLD
STILL, NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ALONE
THAT I'D BE ALONE...
THAT I'D BE ALONE...

I die a little bit
with each second I lose
without a kiss
not being loved by you

Your picture starts to fade
trying to find a new
as red roses
slowly starts to turn blue


ALREADY MISS THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
AND I'M TRYING HARD TO REALIZE
THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE THERE TONIGHT
AND WHEN, WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW
THE BED WILL BE EMPTY AND SO COLD
STILL, NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ALONE
THAT I'D BE ALONE...
THAT I'D BE ALONE...

Never thought it would hurt
so much letting someone go
suddenly, I can't find any words...

ALREADY MISS THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
AND I'M TRYING HARD TO REALIZE
THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE THERE TONIGHT
AND WHEN, WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW
THE BED WILL BE EMPTY AND SO COLD
STILL, NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ALONE
THAT I'D BE ALONE...
THAT I'D BE ALONE...

Very sad and haunting.  Has a lyrical quality that makes me think this either was intended to be a song or could be one.

A very touching poem.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig
