There comes a very sad time in life
When you realise you can’t have what you want
When sadness and pain seem so rife
And all things you built start to fall apart
Tears well up but you try to hide your grief
Hope is gone and anger sears your mortal heart
Hold on you might but all is spent and gone
You look back in time to see how far you’ve come
At that moment you realise just how little you’ve done
The world becomes cold and you feel you’re all alone
And it dawns on you that there’s is no place to call home
Tears well up again when darkness gives way to dawn
When it becomes clear that life is a sad conundrum
The melodrama continues and hopelessness sets in
You cease to live but start looking back at what has been
The mind shuts down and eyes forget what they’ve seen
Life stops and you start existing in a frightful recurring dream
Where can one hide when reality cuts off the silvery seam?
When love turns to hate and the sun turns out a weak beam?
Insanity sets in and we question our own well- being
Who are we and what’s the reason for living?
All happy moments are tainted, a fate so unforgiving
When all is gone, what can a fallen man believe in ?
