Midnight Chimes (Free verse) by TLRufener
Alone as always,
Night after night.
Iâm still waiting around
For Mr. Right.
The sun set before me,
And it will rise just the same.
As the two of us continue
Our little game.
Chime one--
The nightâs almost done;
Morning approaches
And I am alone.
Chime two--
Still dreaming of you;
Morning draws closer
And I am alone.
Chime three--
Still just me;
Morning approaches
And I am alone.
Chime four--
Iâve locked the door;
Morning draws closer
And I am alone.
Chime five--
Amazed Iâve survived;
Morning approaches
And I am alone.
Chime six--
The clock still tics;
Morning draws closer
And I am alone.
Chime seven--
Searching for heaven;
Morning approaches
And I am alone.
Chime eight--
It must be fate;
Morning draws closer
And I am alone.
Chime nine--
Running out of time;
Morning approaches
And I am alone.
Chime ten--
Still asking when;
Morning draws closer
And I am alone.
Chime eleven--
Still searching for heaven;
Morning approaches
And I am alone.
Chime twelve--
The ending bell;
Morning draws closer
And I am alone.
