Count All the Stars (Free verse) by TLRufener

I sit quietly, Here in the dark. Peering out the window, I count all the stars. I’ll wish on every one, Until you come back. You left me here, Alone and sad. You left the world behind, And went on to a better place. I’ll sit here and wait, For your return. You said you’d come back, And take me in your arms. Now I sit in the window sill, And count all the stars. Until I’m no longer lonely, And you hold me in your arms.

ie, Note the timestamps on the two CLICHE COUNTS above. I did them one-after-the-other.

If you're speaking generally - it's surprisingly hard to make people believe they're cliche. Usually you tell them and they're just like "I've got to live my own life" or "I am alone amidst a crowd" or "FREEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!"
