Alone

Eating at the table
All alone
The rain falls like daggers
On his home

The wind howls angerly
Through the creek in the door
A leak in the roof
Allows drips on his floor

An empty seat awaits company
A restless leg taps the ground
The fire prepares for sleep
He pours himself one more round

Pictures hanging lonely
Remind him of the past
Another day to face
It will not be the last

Too sad, but true! This is how I feel in real. A companion would be nice for sure, but where is he or her - they're nowhere to be found I'm afraid! All the best to you, dear poet, keep smiling, keep hoping!bouquet
