Where Are You Now?

This is not the universe I would have conceived of

No existence is worth it without love

Fallen to their deaths with a simple shove

Rather than landing gracefully like a dove,

Not the kind of life I would have had

I was such an impressionable lad

Spent a bit too much time feeling sad

No guarantees in life that are iron clad,

No way to retrieve the past

Despite our memory nothing was meant to last

It seems the world is fading fast

I feel like seeking asylum in a sea so vast,

Oh my estranged lovers, where are you now?

All hope seems gone, but for dreams somehow

Can’t remember the last time I took a solemn vow

No one left to sooth my fevered brow,

All of you with hearts cold as stone

Walking around with your little minds blown

Wishing you had a look alike clone

But for your life’s mistakes you’re accident prone,

The offices of government should be purged

For too long upon taxpayer’s money they’ve splurged

Rarely from the shadows do they emerge

As the panic and lawlessness surge,

I wish I were the perfect man

But I’m nothing more than a grain of sand

Driven by an invisible, unpredictable, hand

Dwelling in a realm where all logic is banned,

Beauty, a fleeting glimpse to pursue

Sadly, I’ll probably never meet you

In a world that’s been rendered askew

Most people don’t even have a clue,

Here I sit in isolation row

Seems there’s no other place to go

Upon whom shall this honor I bestow?

And still I wonder for whom the bell tolls,

Where are you now oh saving grace?

Oh, but for the scent of perfume and lace

For the fools consumed by the flesh chase

Awaiting on the smile of fate to touch my face.
