Going Home Alone

Oh what a disappointment!
I feel helplessly abandoned
Is this how life is?
Is this what life is all about?
Is this how mine is ending?
I feel very cold and lonely
Like a dog thrown outside in a cold winter
Where are my friends and acquaintances?
Who ate and rocked and rolled with me
When things were going fine
Now things have nosedived
And you have deserted me
To go home alone
Are you going to abandon me to make this journey alone?
That is not what friendship is all about!
We promised to be there for each other
To provide our shoulders for each other to lean on
Now you have chickened away like a headless chicken
Am broken-hearted that you lily-liveredly abandoned me
To go home alone
