My reflection stares right back at me
As pensive, I sit by the waterside,
And ponder the days, the years flown by
With the swiftness of the waning tide
I dream of the love that was meant to last,
Where did I go wrong, I agonize
What didn’t I do quite right, I muse,
Love should be for always, it never dies!
Life at its best, was roses and song
At its worst, it was moments gone wrong
Plenty at times, and again, there was dearth
As surely will vouch, who’ve walked this earth
When love was in residence, cares were few
Love flew thro’ the window, leaving only rue
Life’s figures turned to shadows on the wall
As time traveled and with it swallowed them all
Precious moments have fled, never to return,
Ah, these memories, so bitter-sweet!
But we come to this world alone, I guess,
And alone we will go to our last retreat!
So I meander along, lost in solitude,
It’s sadly as it was meant to be,
A sea of faces may be milling around,
Yet there’s only me, to keep me company!
