A Particular Point of View

There’s nobody for me to come home to

Thought I’d come up with many answers and knew

Truth was I didn’t have a clue

Seems like the world and everyone withdrew,

Living alone gives one a particular point of view

A greater appreciation for the magic of morning dew

Counting away the hours as the days grow few

Having to remember being betrayed by you,

I once lived in a romantic garden

There were possibilities no need to beg your pardon

Not so many faces of missing children on milk cartons

From unfaithful women I'm on the run,

In a dream world I meet the right one

Unlike constraints of the waking world that weigh a ton

A place that will be liberated someday by God’s son

Somehow I identify with the heroes who go unsung,

Somewhere there’s an angel I’m told looking down

Trying to keep me from losing my crown

Trying to prevent me from being too much of a clown

Trying to comfort me when I wear a frown,

Somewhere I’m told there’s a silver lining in every cloud

Just don’t get too optimistic or too proud

Too often today gunshots ring aloud

Living in a time when truth is not allowed,

The memories constantly swimming in my head

Living in a fake world of dread

Where spouses leave rather than love instead

It is upon this alter of love I have bled.
