The silent hours passed
Sliding into morning.
The day again arrived
Unloved, without warning.
And oh! how life was sad
And oh! her thoughts were bad.
In another lifetime
The world had been her gift -
Love and beauty for her -
Now it was dust to sift.
And oh! how life was sad
And oh! her thoughts were bad.
Tired, lost once again
A day to still endure
Placing each foot slowly -
Nothingness had allure.
And oh! how life was sad
And oh! her thoughts were bad.
Let each step follow through
With a forward motion.
Dragging feet, dragging day.
Courage - no mere notion!
But oh! how life was sad
And oh! her thoughts were bad.
