In her favorite rocking chair
she sits brushing silver hair
watching as December rains turn into snow
She remembers younger days
that have vanished in the haze
with the friends and lovers that she used to know
Cup of coffee in her hand
things didn't turn out like she'd planned
takes another sip and thinks about her past
How the moments turned to years
and the smiles turned into tears
can't imagine how her life has gone so fast
Once upon a day gone by
she could catch a young mans eye
turning heads and winning hearts were only games
Memories passing in a blur
now she can't recall for sure
all the places or the faces nor the names
So she gives a sigh and stands
holds the cup in shaky hands
walking slowly from the window by her chair
Drops the brush upon the floor
opens up her bedroom door
starts to cry because she has no one to care
Lying down upon her bed
rests her old and tired head
wishing for an end to all her lonely pain
Closes eyes and falls asleep
this, the last time she will weep
Soul released to vanish with December rain

This is so sad, but the way you wrote it makes it seem...peaceful, in a sense.
Awesome write (as always)

Oh Larry.........
I actually haven't any idea how to comment here... except to say... (as I think you once did on one of mine) that this - hit hard. Wow, yeh.... it's... heartbreaking.
Structurally appealing... though I barely noticed for the emotional response that I had to this one. Well done, as always, Larry...

How very sad made me cry reading these words.
A lonlely woman on here own with no one to care for her. You painted a true story of how life is for someone living alone and feeling very sad.
Beautiful touching so heartbreaking
