TONIGHT (I Move On With My Life)

As I stand before this lonely night, my

Tears need disguising, and only

The rain can hide my cries. I

Often wonder why... the moon smiles

All the time, when this life is cursed

With a reality of agony... If only infedility

Was a crime... Maybe my heart would be

In once piece, instead of shattered

Within me... My soul wouldn't be so cold,

And this pain wouldn't be... killing me softly -

Often I've sought to be... the man women

Dream of; the one they yearn to love, but

Lately I've just been the target for mistrust. How

Could love fill my heart, only to be given

To the wrong soul? With this girl

I wanted to grow old, but

I failed to see, and refused to believe

That I was being used; abused by deceit.

Twinkle, twinkle to the stars above... share

With me your happiness, and guide me

Through these imperilments of love. I just

Wish that it would rain this lonely night,

To disguise my cries, and wash away

The memories... that this woman has given me...

Tonight I move on with my life.



Tha Prodigal One...
