She sits on a balcony overlooking a park <br /> Her golden hair shimmering in the sunlit glow <br /> With tears in her eyes she gazes below <br /> Couples walking together with children in tow <br /> She has known many men but now she is alone <br /> She can't understand why love has past her by <br /> Children play happily far, far below <br /> She doesn't know if she'll ever have one of her own <br /> She surrounds herself with work and with friends <br /> But somehow they don't quite bring comfort from within <br /> She yearns in her heart for someone to love <br /> Someone who will care and love her for what she is <br /> As the sun sets in the horizon she gets ready for bed <br /> She closes her eyes as tears roll down the back of her head <br /> Hugging a pillow that doesn't hug back <br /> She is soon fast asleep sway from it all <br /> Comfort she finds in the dream world she creates <br /> Where everyone is happy and free from distress <br /> Embracing her dream lover in a long awaited kiss <br /> As her golden hair waves gently in the cold autumn mist<br /><br />John Hybridge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lonely-lady-2/
