Midwinter Blues

It’s late in December
It’s snowless but cold
Streetlights are shining
And glowing like gold
The city is busy
And bustling with life
The people are happy
Smiling big smiles

Two whole days after Christmas has past 
Families are gathered and lovers hold hands
I too long for love, for what those couples have
I long for a woman hold my cold hand
To hold me in her arms and whisper my name
I long for a someone who love me most of all
And for someone to tell me “I love you” 

And I wish onto distant
Faint stars shining bleak
That I too will soon
Have my own family
After thirty odd years
Quite alone in this world
I no longer want to live life on my own

Have spent too many nights
All alone in my bed
Too many days
With a broken heart
So I hope and I wish
With my whole lonely heart
That the new year that’s coming
Will bring love my way
As the light is returning
And spring comes again 

But for now I’m just walking right here
Walking alone on this midwinter day 
Yearning and crying in sad loneliness
With a warm bitter tear
Running down my cold cheek
