On My Own Again

Early sun, time for my mourning routine
Catch the news, with a coffee or a tea
Practice my downward dog, share an article or ten

Hello twitter, give me my two minutes of fame
Whether it's witty, profound, or just plain jane
Take my crafted anecdotes and carve them in the cloud

But when the scrolling stops, I'm on my own again

Take a hike to the other end of town
Strangers you see, they can nod, but they can't frown
You better keep your distance honey! I ain't fooling around!

Bare essentials, ambling round the store
Where ya going buddy? There's arrows on the floor
Up and down the aisles, and out the door, till you hit the open road

And when the mask comes off, I'm on my own again

He's on his own again
I'm on my own again

People near, and friends from afar
But it don't matter, wherever you've come from
We will lounge on the porch, and drink iced tea

Roll up for the cock fight 'tween the reds and blues
Alternative facts, or just plain god damn not true
I will hear you out, and try to find some common ground

But when the patience stops, I'm on my own again

He's on his own again
I'm on my own again

Pretty face, can I come see you tonight?
Grab some wine, and we'll be bound for better times
We can sit round the fire and bare our weary souls

Heartbeats slowing, skin aglow with cool sweat
I can't sleep all curled up in this single bed
I will wait out the hours, till the light cracks the sky

And when the morning comes, I'm on my own again
