Lover's Lament

She sits on the front steps

Waiting, watching

He's walked away again

Yelling, screaming

"He'll come back," she says

Hoping, praying

He always has before

Begging, pleading

She loves him

Really, truly

Doesn't he love her too?

He looks at his phone

Waiting, watching

They've had another fight

Yelling, screaming

"She'll ask me to come home," he says

Hoping, praying

It's her turn this time

Begging, pleading

He loves her

Really, truly

Doesn't she love him too?

He never came back

She never called

He walked away from her

She let him go

Waiting, watching,

Yelling, screaming,

Hoping, praying,

Begging, pleading,

Really, truly,

It's over now.
