I'm on my way home again
I've been stood up
It hurts so much.
Why even ask me out?
What did you hope to gain?
If you never intended
to follow through with your touch?
Now I am all confused.
I can't see clear.
I waited and waited.
Not even a call.
Each moment passing
Causing anguish and fear
I sat and stared
at the people in the mall.
Hoping your face
would appear sometime soon.
And dispense with this panic
that has now set in.
Darkness arrived and
I looked up at the moon.
Closing time arrives
I throw the tickets in the bin.
"Meet me after work"
you said to me.
"Pick up the tickets,
I'll pay you when I get there".
In the theatre
'two empty seats' to see.
It's plain to see
that you really don't care.
"Get a grip!" I tell myself
"Plenty of fish in the sea!"
If you don't care enough
Then you are not right for me.
It's not my fault that you lied
I always told the truth
You let yourself down as well as me
When you became uncouth.
I can hold my head up still
Even though you hurt me so
The loneliness will pass one day
When I find a new love to go.
