<poem> | |||
In a little while from now | |||
If I'm not feeling any less sour | |||
I promise myself to treat myself | |||
And visit a nearby tower | |||
And climbing to the top | |||
Will throw myself off | |||
In an effort to | |||
Make it clear to whoever | |||
Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered | |||
Left standing in the lurch at a church | |||
Were people saying, My God, that's tough | |||
She stood him up | |||
No point in us remaining | |||
We may as well go home | |||
As I did on my own | |||
Alone again, naturally | |||
To think that only yesterday | |||
I was cheerful, bright and gay | |||
Looking forward to who wouldn't do | |||
The role I was about to play | |||
But as if to knock me down | |||
Reality came around | |||
And without so much as a mere touch | |||
Cut me into little pieces | |||
Leaving me to doubt | |||
Talk about, God in His mercy | |||
Oh, if he really does exist | |||
Why did he desert me | |||
In my hour of need | |||
I truly am indeed | |||
Alone again, naturally | |||
It seems to me that | |||
There are more hearts broken in the world | |||
That can't be mended | |||
Left unattended | |||
What do we do | |||
What do we do | |||
Alone again, naturally | |||
Looking back over the years | |||
And whatever else that appears | |||
I remember I cried when my father died | |||
Never wishing to hide the tears | |||
And at sixty-five years old | |||
My mother, God rest her soul | |||
Couldn't understand why the only man | |||
She had ever loved had been taken | |||
Leaving her to start | |||
With a heart so badly broken | |||
Despite encouragement from me | |||
No words were ever spoken | |||
And when she passed away | |||
I cried and cried all day | |||
Alone again, naturally | |||
Alone again, naturally | |||
