Lifetime

 You never said goodbye, 

just walked away and let me cry, 

I felt the void from deep inside as

over the years it messed with my mind. 

I spent a lifetime trying to understand,

was this the path the heavens planned?

To reveal the sweetness of touch and 

have it torn away from me as such. 

Life changes day by day and 

yet it seems to stay the same, 

I look out upon the sea and 

remember how it could be. 

The rocking chair dream 

finds my soul wanting, 

to share in a simple way

the passing of a day. 

You never said goodbye, 

let that spark burn out and die, 

leaving me here all alone 

with nowhere for me to go.
