Lonely Paradise Poem by Michael WheelerWyatt

I thought the sobbing so sweet the day that I had to say goodbye
Now I am in paradise alone it’s those tears that really make me cry
Perfume in the air from flowers I cannot name
Birds on my balcony that I don’t need to tame

It’s a lonely paradise
A lonely lovely paradise

That isn’t the same without you
That makes the blue sky days seems blue

Lovers on the beach saying hello to me as they walk on by
I check my phone for messages seeing if you are there just to say hi.
I thought that I wanted to get away – far away
To numb the pain – but the tropical winds just fans the flames

It’s a lonely paradise
A lonely lovely paradise

That isn’t the same without you
That makes the turquoise sea seen so - oh so blue

It’s a lonely paradise
A lonely, lonely paradise
