I’m Scared of Being Alone

I am scared of being alone,

I know I have the TV, I know I have the phone,

It’s you I want, not email, not text

I want you and you alone

I’m scared of losing you,

Scared we won’t work out

We‘ve failed before

Filled with each others doubt

The time is right

The time is now

Let’s grasp it while we can

We both deserve some happiness

And a decent tan!

A holiday, some time for us

Leave the rest behind

They’ll still be there

When we are back

And hopefully they’ll find

Two people much in love

Like hero’s coming home

The Past, as memories

And neither of us, alone

On the first 5 verses

So now all that is left

Fills me with bereft

I slam the piano keys

Dear God I’m on my knees

I pray, pray and pray

That I’ll never be another’s prey

Your silly tunes

Upon those keys

Had me singing in tune

The ebony and ivory

Oh you so hated, loathed the rivalry

A rivalry so raw

So new

You knew!

You blew

Yet you would not bow out

Instead you shouted out

“You are mine!”

“My divine”

“My melody”

“You are my everything!”

“The clothes you wear”

“Your hair”

“It’s all mine!”

You hollered

Like you had me collared

Strapped in a strapless bodice

“Why did you not notice?”

The unhappiness that resided

Yet you never minded!

The silent tears

The silent fears

And now it is time to go it alone

Facing the unknown

Bringing myself back to my home

My home that I knew and loved

Be what I want to be

See all there is to see

See who I want to see

And maybe, just maybe

The real you is out there for me
