I'm Alone

The days are long
they're hot
and they fight my will
to carry on

Today, like every day, I'm alone
and I glance around me
at couples, smiling and laughing
it fights my will to move forward

I'm alone out here
in this world, so beautiful
it kills me to admit
and to quit

I watch a couple
dance at this bar
and never did I think
that I'd be sittin here
like some guy before me

My bottle, cold and wet
sit empty in the console
of my truck, while I think of my luck
after those girls I once met

God, keep me movin on
down this bumpy road
down this detour called life
bring me someone I can call my wife

I'm alone and surviving off of dreams
how am I suppose to live
like I once wanted to
but everything isn't what it had seamed

So, let me sing about myself
and how I don't have a love
you can think about all the above
but I can tell you it's not correct

I'm alone out here
on my own
please, God let me be near
the woman I wish I had
because I'm so alone

I like the poem. I roamed the Texas bars for six years. I like the country bars. The ladies would ask you to dance. Ain't no fun when we are alone and wishing for someone else. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

God keeps on wheeling you along while you find your purpose and how your life means. He is searching for a nice woman that befits you. That even if you wait that long, she'll still appear especially for you
