To Be Alone

Cold shoulders
Leave me shivering
Leave my heart so--
All alone.
She does this to me
On purpose--
To turn me off and away
From Her
I'm not this enough
Or that enough
But, I knew that already.
What made me think she was
Any different?
We are all just alike.
Searching for him or her,
The ones I want,
Can't stand me--
Everyone, everytime
By now I should have learned
And no amount of trying to be or do,
Will change that way
That way I am or that way I look
The sad part is I am
The same way!
I heard her say Joe's ugly
That's when I knew--
And uses tobacco
And to me that means no way!
She has a husband too
And a lover!
That leaves me way out and
A sinner to boot!
Thank God!
She's been doing me a favor
I'll do her one right back
By leaving her
Alone!
(Well not alone,
She has her other men
And all of those lies she tells)
