The Lonely Widow

When the day begins,

Chirping birds hurt my ears.

Crowing roosters fill me with fear.

But most of all,

Laughing children bring me to tears.

I close my window,

drown my sorrows

in the hopes of a better tomorrow.

But now, 

I’m nothing more than The Lonely Widow.

When the day continues,

Sunlight seeps through 

calling for me.

Wind sneaks in, something I could foresee.

The sea is out there

waiting for me. 

But I can’t guarantee

until my heart is free. 

Until then,

I’m still The Lonely Widow.

When the day ends, 

The air grows cold

And I grow old. 

Everything repeats

But I’ll never be complete. 

But when the day continues, 

A knock on my door

Something I couldn’t ignore.

I open

I blink

I realize 

Everyone was there, 

The Birds,

The Roosters,

The Children,

The Family,

The Sunlight,

The Sea,

And the Ocean.

They are waiting for me.

To open my door

To stop and don’t ignore

Not like before. 

When the day starts,

Everything is music to my ears.

When the day continues, 

Everything will not call for me,

They will be with me.

When the day ends,

It continues.

I am a Widow.

But no more am I, The Lonely Widow.
