deserted, desolate,
this place that we call home
lonely
no one cares but you and you alone
then someone comes into your life
and changes everything
no longer deserted, no longer desolate
and you are no longer alone
for once you think that you have it made
but you know this isn’t the way the story goes
he leaves, he always does
time wasn’t on your side
you are and always will be
forever alone
