The Grave of Lost Love

The life of the ill advised

Impetuous adventures and lies

Out on a limb disaster the unwanted surprise

But you can be hurt worse by her alibis,

Sacrificing all for that momentary thrill

The tears become bitter the cries shrill

Like the milk already spilled

The hearts you broke with such skill,

Pay dirt at the ranch of sorrow

Always the hope that it will change tomorrow

Until you have to beg steal or borrow

A new day and a new low,

Repercussions always go unforeseen

Fate has a knife that gleams

Cutting through your ambitions and dreams

Then you find you’re coming apart at the seams,

Promiscuity seems a blast

But what you do catches up with you fast

In the storm the collapse of the ship’s mast

Then and there your shortcomings have you typecast.

Love this passionate game you played

But you never quite made the grade

Upon the grave of lost love you prayed

All the fond memories that gradually fade,

Finding yourself alone in a park

Alone with no new adventures to embark

The loss of family becomes painful and stark

Could it be that those indiscretions left their mark?
