Brooding



On the morning that you left me

I got up an hour before

I wanted to be standing there

When you walked out that door



And now you’ve left me here

Cold, alone and numb

Wondering what to do now

I’m feeling kind of dumb



On the morning that you left me

I had a bite to eat

Showered, dressed, and left this room

Where we used to meet



I walked along the lonely road

Holding thoughts we used to share

A smile just touching on my face

We made up quite a pair



We laughed about such silly things

We talked from inside our souls

You’re being gone is hard on me

It weighs a heavy toll



I try to remember happy times

The times we used to chill

But my loneliness just echoes here

The silence is so still



Someday I’ll smile once again

Someday I’ll realize why

You had to go to do your thing

Realize I shouldn’t cry



But sitting here in this lonely room

Sitting in this despair

Just reminds me of how much I need you

Because friends like you are rare
