Poem 223 of 365 –
I feel like something sad tonight
Would lighten up the mood.
Music feigning loneliness gives me
Someone to feel close to.
I shouldn’t be left to my own devices
How long will it take for you to realize this?
But don’t worry yourself too much
Tonight’s all right alone.
I’ll listen to my sad piano,
And raindrops filling in the shallow end of my crooked mind.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be a lonely fool tonight.
