Alone on a Monday Morning

The door on the car swiftly closes
My eyes are so discreetly focused
On the spot that I shall go align on
Waiting for just the right time to come

She rounds around the hallway corner
Looking extremely tired and hungover
From staying up so late in the night
Drunk on all the tears and all the fright

She lays her head down on my shoulder
Wishing she could get things in order
I sit with her in isolation
While watching people walking around in frustration

She utters to me so many words
That some people haven't heard
It feels so nice to be so special
To be considered oh so helpful

We sit in silence together for a while
She stares at her phone, I stare at the tiles
There's nothing interesting on the floor
So I look at her reflection on the door

Suddenly someone walks through the doorway
Although it's so early on a Monday
A more important man starts approaching
Lighting up her face like it was lightning

Before I say anything she gets up
Full of energy, to her luck
The jealousy feeling starts creeping over
As if to show me how much I was worth to her

To see somebody more important
Being held at such high appraisal
In the eyes of someone you hold so close
Breaks the flow of my mind for just a moment

I get up to leave in such a hurry
Giving an excuse to leave so early
I walk the aisles of the hallways
Keeping myself alone on a Monday
