Midnight Chimes

Alone as always, Night after night. I’m 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 night’s 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-- I’ve locked the door; Morning draws closer And I am alone. Chime five-- Amazed I’ve 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.

This reminds me of "one two, buckle my shoe; three, four, shut the door...etc". Except I enjoy that poem. 2
