The Path to Alone


             The Path to Alone

He sits by the fire, in a room all alone,,,
There's nobody there,,,, not even the phone.
Reading intently and fondly,,, his notes from the past,
Oh how and oh why did his life pass so fast?
Hoping somebody,,, just someone, will remember or care,,,
As close as he looks there's just nobody there.

He invested in vacant and dark one way streets,,,
And wasted his life on the one moment treats.
To me its no wonder his cupboards are bare,
When you give all to nothing,,,
In the end,,, nothings there.

Perhaps I should think of him once and awhile,,,
Just tired of supporting, his persistent denial.
His choices were his, and he knew all along,,,
By investing in nothing,,,
He would be left all alone.  

As I watch through the window,,,his apparent despair
His life is now over,,,, wishing someone were there.
What could it had been,,, taking another path instead?
Turns off the PC,,,walks alone to his bed.
Another day has past, another day is gone,,,
Nothings much changed,,,he's still all alone.
