Alone In My Chair

I sit alone in my chair

I draw pictures

And dream of things I can't have



My mind once wandered away

Then my body strayed

These foolish desires destroyed my life

I lost my wife



She doesn't love me anymore



Now she's cold and distant

I can't reach her, I can't touch her

She no longer wants me



I can't turn back the hands of time

I can't correct the wrong I've done

I can't erase the pain I've caused

I can't hold her in my arms



She doesn't love me anymore



I sit alone in my chair

I draw pictures

And dream of things I can't have



I realize my eyes are crying

As tear drops fall on my paper

The picture I draw tonight

Is a picture of my wife

Social conventions made me think of the persona as a female, as i was reading the first few lines, till i got to the middle.
Indeed, a man can suffer terribly from such a fate.
and u paint it very gruesomely sad.

Thanxs for inviting me here.
If u can, pls read Rocking Alone in my second hall. It's quite similar. SMilesz.

Take care, tricia ~
