Swan Song

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have thought, said this before !!!

It is time to let go, close that door !!!

Reminisce no longer, think of Her no more !!!

All the evidence leads to one conclusion !!!

I have been living these years in an illusion !!!

Could it be ?, the evidence is just confusion !!!

I do not want to open my eyes,

wake up, have to accept, realize

I have been living in a world of lies

hoping, once again, she’d be my prize.

All my beautiful dreams seem to be jaded

pieces of a tapestry, who’s images have faded,

to undiscernible flakes of time before this eye,

as the years have imperceptibly drifted on by.

In the end, will my own words, I hear ?

Will I pay heed ?, let go without any fear

that my last great love will no longer be near ?
