When You're All Alone

What do you do when you're all alone
And no one comes your way
Do you allow your thoughts to wander
Do you let your mind stray?

What do you think when you're all alone
Where does your mind go
Do you think about your past
All the lies that were faux?

What do you feel when you're all alone
Where do your emotions lie
Do you feel sad to be by yourself
Do you let yourself cry?

What do you hear when you're all alone
Are there voices in your head
Do you scare and go to find
Instead a very good friend?

When you are no longer alone
And people are in your way
Does your mind still wander
Or do thoughts just go away?

When you are no longer alone
And a very special person is in your life
Do all "alone" worries go away
All your thoughts of strife?

When you are no longer alone
But thoughts still run through your head
They follow you all day long
And right on into bed,

Do they still worry you, darling
When you are again alone
Though a special person is on your mind
But now you are alone

Do worrisome thoughts come back again
Do they still haunt your mind
Even though things are happy
Do all thoughts have to be kind?
