This Bed I Made

Never thought I would be here at this time in my life

Wish I could swim away like a dolphin from all the strife

Wishing for someone somewhere sometime

All I get is this empty and lost fairytale rhyme,

You drifted away so self-assured like a cloud so sublime,

Nothing to live for when your life’s not worth a dime

Still I cling to the illusion that there might be better times

Is that the bell that tolls for me with its ominous chime?

Waiting for some reason to continue on this path

Seems I’ve somehow fallen afoul of God’s wrath

I’ll never be a hero oh I think I can do the math

This life of reflection in this cold bitter bath,

Somehow it all escapes me like a dolphin in the sea

Moral of this story don’t be a fool like me

Watch out for the repercussions when you think you’re free

For fate may not hand you your preferred cup of tea,

It seems that I can hear you just laughing in the breeze

Smiling at some new lover you’re about to tease

Stumbling like a blind man I think I lost my keys

Lost and lonely my passion’s in a deep freeze,

Like that dolphin within me swimming away

If you could have stuck around just for another day

Memories are just like ghosts that’s what they say

This the bed I made for myself is where I lay.
