Alone?

In this room

on the phone

across countries

over oceans

under sheets,

I hear your feet

tap, tapping away

getting farther each day

as you leave me

alone, with love

half measured,

messages late,

forgotten dates,

with I'm not sure

and I don't know,

with maybe, perhaps,

or oh you'd believe me

sweetheart

if only

you could see me

but i don't,

because you do, 

you just

leave me alone.

i cross the skies

with all my whys

and ever each empty

seat beside me

is for you. Are you

fact or are you fiction,

I have become

your contradiction

You leave me alone

even if my love

does not know

how to leave you.
