Wrote this one long ago and published it elsewhere, shortly after my marriage fell apart. Luckily, I'm not so lonely now.
The treetops flame in golden light
While the red sun sinks away
Behind the houses and the trees
So ends my lonely day
So starts another lonely night
Of longing and despair
Of wishing there was someone near
Who has some warmth to share
Someone who holds me in her arms
As I hold her in mine
If only for the briefest time
A second would be fine
But as I watch the treetops fade
And loose their amber light
I know I'll be alone again
For yet another night
