Jedidiah’s Alter Ego



Jedidiah’s Alter Ego

The lonely eyes watch longingly the partiers
Lonely ears hear the laughter and frivolous cries
Tears flow on both sides just that one weeps as the other dries
Sighs resound across the sound, sadness colliding with passionate cries

Two worlds so close, calm waters on the Long Island close
She sits in her deck chair and looks without a care
Appearances so deceiving for she’s seething
Disappointment and anger are such nearby feelings

Stood up after he swore truth and honesty to her
Why’d he wreck that she’d declared so dear?
Now all on her own at home tortured by sounds and a silent phone
Reflects upon her belief that beauty and virtue would never let her down

Alas, the world doesn’t run on honesty, integrity and fair
Romantics of this world are forever Wednesday’s share
They yearn for love, its perfection is their care
Angels upon the earth for they dare
