Tea Please
To wake each morning but not feel rested
To have no purpose no reason to move
To hear nothing but your own voice bounce off the walls
Your only companion is your shadow on the floor
It follows you all day at least it’s there you say
The mirror tells no lies
That person staring at you
Pathetic you say
An argument unfolds
You cry but your eyes are dry
Tick tock goes the clock
You need air or else
Outside there is noise, colour, people
No one talks to you, some smile
A glimmer of warmth creeps inside
The beauty of nature making you sigh
Why is it so that you must live alone
Animals in nature have a mate
It’s not natural to live this fate
Surely you were cursed
You’re a person of worth
What did you do
But just be you
Dreamy thoughts leak
What would it be like
Someone to hold
Oh for a cup of tea in bed
That would be gold
Night arrives so quick
Your companion leaves
Shadows aren’t reliable
The silence is so loud
A cup of tea
Please …
I lived alone for a few years and really hated it. The worst time for me was on a Saturday late afternoon especially if I had no plans for a Saturday evening (which was usually the case!) x

Yes people that have never lived alone or been single have no idea! My kids moved out and for a long time now I’m feeling it. Its so quite in the house!

I have already decided if at some point I am alone I will rent out one of my rooms. Of course that has the potential to create more problems, the person has to be carefully chosen. I shared for two years before being alone and it worked well.

Well that’s exactly what I’m planning I’ve already cleared one room for painting but I’m a bit scared of getting someone in I don’t like as only a small house. Maybe I’ll move out with my dogs and rent the whole house out lol . If I didn’t love my dogs so much I would be travelling for sure
