alone

she smiles at the mirror that isn't there
she loves the man who never cares
she waits by the phone to hear his voice
she sits in the darkness with the hope
that one day he will be there
he doesn't notice the way she stares
he loves another girl
now she waits her turn to be with him
maybe one day he will hold her hand
maybe one day she can escape the darkness he led her in
but maybe she was meant to be alone?
alone and cold as a winter's day
alone enough to make her say
her shadow is her only friend
maybe one day he will be her man
but maybe one day is a little too late
loneliness settles in and conquers her soul
maybe one day she won't be alone.
