Lonely hours <br />spent <br />watching the rain <br />like tears <br />on the window pane. <br /> <br />Lonely hours <br />wishing <br />you were here with me <br />as I gaze <br />over another cup of tea. <br /> <br />Lonely hours <br />spent <br />alone, crying <br />dying slowly <br />because you are gone. <br /> <br />1979<br /><br />Penni Currie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonely-hours/
