Empty Cafe


Smoke rises in a swirling cloud

The smell of coffee prevails

Outside in the twilight shroud

It is windy at it hails.


I sit wrapped in a grey cloak

And I quietly sip my drink

My eyes sting from the smoke

I'm confused, I can't think.


I can almost touch my pain

A throbbing loneliness inside

The hail turns into rain

And I turn, I want to hide.


So many words say nothing

My body aches from tip to toe

I want some warmth and loving

And I want somewhere to go.


There are moments of light

When I know you're out there

They make everything alright

They show me why and where.


Those messianic moments, then

Make life worth all the gold

Which brightens the way when

All is done and told.
