Alone

He wakes in the morning to see the rain coming down,

Slowly he gets up to get ready for another long night on the town,

For this day is different cause the house is quiet and he is alone,

Cause a couple days ago she left with the kids and went home,

He sits at the table with a warm coffee in his hand,

Staring out the window as a sheet of rain covers the land,

Thinking about her and praying that her and the kids are alright,

As he opens the door and steps out in the cold dark night,

The truck is cold as the steam from his breath fills the air,

Then he looks into the cold dark night and at the darkness begins to stare,

For in the distance a lone star shines through the dark night sky,

Then he thinks back to the warm summers night watching stars with his family by his side,

As the night carries on he gets his routes done,

He's cold and wet and is finally on his last run,

The night is finally over and he get ready to go home,

The drive home is short and he parks in the the drive where he is once again alone,
