You learn to take your coffee black
You learn to drink your whiskey neat
You learn to take your shower cold
And sleep on tired feet
You learn to order dinner in
You learn to send the laundry out
You learn to amuse yourself
You learn to live without
You tell yourself you’re rich
at last in money and in time
You draw a bath
and then unplug the phone
You pour yourself
a Pinot Clo Du Val 2003
You sit a spell a queen upon her throne
You go to bed alone
You learn to fall asleep alone
You learn to silence ticking clocks
You learn to turn the shades at night
And double check the locks
You learn to speak so calmly when
Your heart would like
to scream and shout
You learn to smile
and breathe and smile
You learn to live without
You find the coat and tie
you thought you’d given to good will
You stumble along
You learn to count the quiet winds
An hour with no unprompted tears
And not to count the deadly days
As they fade into years
You learn to stand alone at last
So brave and bold
and strong and stout
You learn to somehow like the dark
And even love the doubt
You learn to hold your life inside you
And never let it out
You learn to live and live
and die and live
You learn to live without
You learn to live without
You learn to live without
