I know life and love are not exactly the same
But there’s no point in one without the other’s flame
All I ever sought was a one true love
Yet such seems not decreed by the gods above
Why should I continue to seek this holy grail
When all I’ve seen is how I fail
I have been cut loose and cast adrift
The light fades away across the rift
There’s no one to soothe the pain in my eyes
No one to hear my lonely sighs
No one to hold and know they care
No one for my life to share
Again I try and again I fail
Haven’t the strength another try would entail
The sun may rise but it will also set
I’m none so wise as to have the answer yet
Hope may spring eternal – yet can be lost
Each false step extracts it’s cost
Once hope is gone, the spirit dies
Other’s platitudes become mere lies
I’ve been told “chin up” and that I “must be brave”
And begged not to seek the silence of the grave
Yet Death comes for each one and all
No one ever escapes it’s final call
I’ve lived long enough to know my mind and heart
Both tell me the time has come to depart
I gladly go and surrender life
Seeking to end the endless strife
Sinking beneath the welcoming dark
Glad the pain has flared it’s last burning spark
