Lonely Ballad
November 19, 2019
At last, I sit upon the floor
love, how can you do me this way
After all, I have done to please
You leave me here, lonely to stay
How can you do this to me, love
I feel my heart die and decay
Tears begin to run rivers clear
You leave me here, lonely to stay
My eyes cling tight, lashes knitted
My sorrows heavy, start to lay
Still is my heart on this cold night
You leave me here, lonely to stay
My eyes begin to burn and sting
The world, once colorful, now gray
For how you leave me here alone
You leave me here, lonely to stay
A Flag will come, a coffin too
Your belongings are not left a-stray
A promise to return, broken
You leave me here, lonely to stay
