Lonely Life

By: Alyssa Rydell

How many times must we say goodbye?

Too many long and drawn out mornings without you.

After sunrise, I have no one to wake,

No one beside me,

No one to shake.

Hundreds of times we have had to say goodbye,

Too many long and boring days without you.

I am alone in my car,

With an empty seat beside me.

I know that without you, I am not going far.

Again, we must say goodbye.

Too many long and confusing nights without you.

I fall asleep in my own bed,

Without your gorgeous body curled up next to me.

I close my eyes and think of every time you have said,

“I love you,” in your sweet and innocent childish voice.
