Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor just a quiet teen
Invisible only wanting to be seen
Lost Rigby ran
Out of town
Out of sight
Left in the night no one was there
No one cared
Lonely people
One lonely person
A river flowed through the long trees
Eleanor Rigby wiggled her toes
The water rose like a huge sea
A long wave swallowed her up
Not one screech
No silent squeal
Not a trace
No saving grace
Eleanor Rigby died in the sea
No one came
No one remembered
Eleanor Rigby died in vain.

Thomas Jones

In the back of the cathedral
Sat Thomas Jones
Where does he come from?
Where does he belong?
Every week he sits
Unseen
Unnoticed
Where does he come from?
Where does he belong?
Writing in his diary
No one comes near
He puts on the smile he keeps by the door
Who is it for?
Where does he come from?
Where does he belong?
There’s a gun in the drawer
What is it for?
After service Jones wanted to be seen
He opened his drawer
Thomas Jones died at home
All alone
No one was saved
No one came

Alice Button

Alice button a Child’s rebel spirit
A family’s scorned outcast
A friend’s greatest comfort
A lovers Toy
A lonely person
Lost in a crowd of faces
Abused beaten
A druggy best customer
An alcoholic’s open ear
But no one could hear
Her cries her help
Her silent screams
A Mother's pain
Poor Alice Button didn’t understand
A local newspaper had a heading of great sadness
Alice button had died of a lonely overdose
A family’s outcast
A friend’s comfort
A lover’s toy
One lonelier person
Gone without a trace
