No one is better off alone. If there is someone you care about, see them often.

She told herself she didn’t mind
The lonely double bed
She said she liked her freedom
The solitude inside her head

She swore she enjoyed her traveling
Doing it all her way, on her own
She said don’t worry a bit about me
I’m much better off alone

Every year she grew older
And of course grew more alone
Till at last she seldom left her house
To see children long since grown

They don’t miss me she sighed
And I’ve ever so much to do
I’m cataloging my photographs
And searching for a long lost shoe

She baked cookies every year
Cakes, pies and candy too
But every year it went to waste
She had no one to send it to

She died one night in her bed
After weeks of suffering on her own
Cause no one thought to check on her
She said she was better off alone
