She Walks Alone

She spent the last of her teenage years

At home alone with her worst fears

When the telegraph came, she did not know who to blame

She walks alone

The War that took her husband's life

It made a widow of his wife

The world came crashing in, she made a haunt to rest with him

She walks alone!

She leaves the flowers on his grave

The last one we forgot to save

A note of long regrets, the pension checks are all she gets
