Why must we continue
with constant innuendo
elude to the dreams
we try to capture
comfort it seems
only comes from a bottle
and then is only temporary
We write and we write
try as we might
rest is stolen by a thief in the night
and we wear the tell tale signs of the robbery
upon our line filled face during the day
some would say, that come what may
they, just want to be happy
Dwelling on the past
of love that doesn’t last
bores a pain throughout the brain
that will try to sustain
the truth of love
even if the truth brings pain
loves lost
such a cost
yet we strive
to be alive
In love, we still choose to deny
live with a lie
or
was it true?
Gone, gone
like an unsung song
seems it won’t be long
till time deals you an answer
like the steps to a dancer
Someday
we pray
that life’s pathway
will lead us…to happy
