I Sit Here Alone, Today

On the same rusty bench

Where we used to laugh

Until our stomachs hurt

I sit 

Gusty winds go rushing through the leaves

I think I hear you in them

The blue sky slowly turns to pink

Balmy winds caress my soul

Failing to heal my wounds

The red sky alters to grave blue

But my heart still bleeds 

I look up for the stars

Oh! It's all mist

I see the moon twinkling through the clouds 

Smiling at me with pity

Promising me better things ahead

But my heart

Is well-versed with the outcomes of

Plastic-promises

Approaching footsteps, I turn around

Thinking it's you

It's a stranger hurrying towards his home

Well, I have nowhere to hasten to

My home, with you, is gone

As I sit here alone, today.
