In The Murky Depths Of My Tortured Soul

Alone under the stars

There they go
Hand in hand.
He takes her hand and kisses it.
She giggles with delight
And I stare in pain.
My tears didn't move him.
I loved him but he didn't feel it.
I suppose he felt her love.
Of course she cajoled him.
It was easy, she speaks like a dove.
And her eyes were as blue as sapphire.
Any man who looked deep would get carried away
Just like mine.
Now they disappear into the starry night
With hopes and dreams.
I'm all alone under the stars
Counting the many years I will have to wait.
I can't do anything but cry
And hope I don't wait too long.
