Alone at a Movie by Ronald A PavellasThere is an ineffable sadness In standing in line Sitting in the theater Alone.
How can I enjoy a good show Without her sitting next to me?
Little nods of her head Touches of her hand on mine My hand on her arm My glancing at her rapt eyes Her tear-stained cheeks Our hands will sometimes clasp
Sigh!
So, I sit alone As the nice old theater Plays good jazz The lights full on Before the showing
My writing pad and pen Are my allies, my friends My companions As I wait for the movie to start
Alone --
