~ Solitaire ~

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference

A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
In his silence

And solitaire's the
Only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down

And by himself
It's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself
He plays the game

Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on
Around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

Another day,
A lonely day
So much to say
It goes unspoken

And through the night
The sleepless night
His eyes are closed
His heart is broken

And solitaire's the only
Game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down

And by himself,
It's easy to pretend
She's coming back again

And keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same

While life goes
On around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying

Solitaire . . .

~ . . . love from one being to another can only be that two solitudes come nearer, recognize and protect and comfort each other.
