They OutLawed "Go Fourth", So I bought a Fifth.

                                 

                                                                  A Lonely Fate-a-Fête.

                                                              Masking the Pain.

All alone am I on this, the 4'th of July,

All alone with just the beat of my heart;

Not a soul around so I don't hear a sound

Just the lonely beating of my heart.

Unsafe to hold each other hands,

All we're allowed to hold is emptiness;

Unsafe to kiss our lover's lips,

Trapped as we are in this Corona mess.

All alone am I on this, the 4'th of July,

All alone with just the beat of my heart;

Not a soul around they too are all house-bound,

With the lonely beating of their heart.

No Netflix binge or guilt-free splurge,  

Will work to make my lone heart sing again;

No fireworks can sate this urge,

Only your touch makes my heart's wringing end.

 

All alone am I on this, the 4'th of July,

All alone with just the beat of my heart;

Like a doleful hound, I circle 'round and 'round,

Hearing just the beating of my heart.
