Open Letter To Being Home Alone For Weeks

I am so, so alone
There's nobody to talk to
They're all gone, nobody home
I miss my children, and yes, my wife too

I can do whatever I want
Write a poem, or an open letter
Watch TV, play the computer
But none of that makes me feel any better

Nothing can extinguish the sadness
I feel so sad from deep within
Oh, the thought, this will last for two weeks
Nothing I can do, not a thing

I wrote my wife an e-mail
Told her that I miss her
That put a smile on my face
But I only feel a little better

In a few weeks they will be home again
The silence will definitely go away
Things will be as it was again
And then, yes then, will I wish
for another quiet day
