The Ambivalent Joke
The Ambivalent Joke
Didn't expect to be alone at this time of my days
I thought the passage of time was just a phase
But there's no one on the bed where she lays
Life goes on like a melancholy play,
No one calling from the top of the stairs
No family comes to visit showing up in pairs
Could it really be that nobody cares?
All this the end result of an affair,
The winters seem longer and colder than before
The shadows don't seem to go away anymore
Where is the hand of a child once at my door?
Day to day survival becomes a chore,
It's all God's creation I remind myself
Lucky to be alive though I'm alone on a shelf
Can't live off of fantasies and a magical little elf
I say, "the world is ablaze, get a hold of yourself."
How did it all come to this?
Time is running out the illusion was bliss
Now only memories and selflessness
What I wouldn't do just for a kiss,
The days are like a silent freight train that passes
One car after another no makeup or lashes
Estranged from me now she always had sass
Whatever happened to my once loving lass?
Just when you thought so much of your dignity
You will find yourself betrayed of her loyalty
The dagger comes down hard with impunity
You will find your heart has no immunity,
Love was once like a game to be played
Passion and advances were often made
But then there was that price to be paid
You found that the karma was cruelly delayed,
The happy days, the well being easily taken in
Seemingly overwhelmed by bad times and sin
No one asks, "where have you been?"
Someday they will be notified as next of kin,
So, what was life but just a long ambivalent joke?
Never should I have believed the words you spoke
It was all part of the mirrors and smoke
When all faith and promises are now broke.
