I am all alone
yet a family shares the home
I interact with scores of people
and my world crumbles
I hurt with no end in sight
How can this be right?
Lip service passes this way
When my broken silence strays
A country not my own
plays host as I at times roam
An invitation sent, accepted
Years later the guest rejected
Life goes on I’m told
You’re handsome, bold
In time you will find
a younger woman, loving and kind
The sad tragedy is this
Reality took a new twist
I found love, remained perky
Now traded as a commodity
