Nowhere Girl

leelee101 • 1434 followers

Dusting all her yesterdays
She keeps them to herself
There's no-one left to share
The years she keeps upon the shelf
An empty whiskey bottle
Is the only sign of life
She's worn around the edges
Never taken as a wife
Happy with existence
She just prefers to stay alone
Nobody ever calls
On her brand new telephone
Takes an age old cigarette
Fragrant smoke now fills the room
She lights a waxen wick
To hold back the growing gloom
Deep and dark the mood
As she takes a tearful glance
Love and light could hold her
If she gave herself the chance
But she's resigned to choices made
The price paid every day
She gathers all her memories
And she throws them all away
She sighs into the night
And lets the black unfurl
She is always and forever
The eternal nowhere girl...

Inspired by, and title from
'Nowhere Girl' by B-Movie

Birthday Cake

Sitting at the head Of a long empty table. I'd manage a smile, If I were able. Humming the pitchy tune That echoes through the room. A cake in front of me, No one else will consume.

alone

Alone. Shouldn't moan. You only complain. When I'm there. So why should I care. Space. In this place. You wanted more. Room to breathe. Why should I leave. Sound. None to be found. I keep my company.

Cocoon

I do love the moon. But the night falls too soon. Yes I love its silver beams on the sand dune. But painful memories start hunting my cocoon. When the night falls, the house goes quiet.

Home Alone

So I am back here again. Don't know where to start don't know how to begin. In an empty home. I stay here all alone. What can I do to make things more fun. I don't want this silence I want to run.

No-one

The night is so empty But there's no-one here to see. I can pour my heart out, fill it Because there's no-one here to see. Secrets floating to the heavens, A sacred right that no-one's here to see.

Alone In The Mist

A milky haze swallows me. As the mist rolls across the field. I raise my arms, as if to embrace. And to the clouds I yield. The air is cool and bitter. It carries the smell of sea.

Solitaire For Two

Solitaire, I'm playing solitaire again today, A few pegs left, still in the game, It's an old set, on it's last legs, But I like things that stay the same.

Ghost Town

I went for a walk. To get some fresh air. I went through the town. There's nobody there. Where have they gone. Where could they be. I thought to myself. It's just lonely old me.
