Lady Loneliness

Timothy Ivan Brumley 061757

I'm the ghost of heartaches past,
Love's dark contrast.
That empty seat
Beside you when you eat.
The tear stains on the pillow case,
That new wrinkle on your face.

I am the gremlin of 'What if?'
If you catch my drift.
Who's main theme
Is to haunt your dreams.
I'm that loud echo in your life,
That steady source of added strife.

I'm that cold spot in your bed,
I am words unsaid.
I am arguments won,
I am promises undone.
I am that thing left to chance,
I am Lady Loneliness...
Would you care to dance?
