Sadness overwhelming

by Robert   Sep 21, 2004


I live life like people do,
a step away from true love and you.
I see what others can scheme and plan,
yet I am lost for I am a lonely man.
I wonder the roads rainy nights,
my tears falling in the neon lights.
Places where we have come to celebrate,
now are avenues for pain to dictate.
I can't hate other for I had,
I can only wonder this land sad.
I walk by your resting place from time to time,
wishing I was buried by you in a bag of lime.
I see no shame to come here and pray,
for I ask God always why should I stay.
then I brush my pants off and go,
thinking life is my greatest foe.
I some times can manage to see your face,
then cry when I awake because I am not by your grace.
I ask others what should I do,
they tell me to go far from you.
Is it your spirit that calls me to where you rest,
for I know for me you were the best.
I know I we shall see each other once more,
for that is only reason my heart can sore.
But how much time before that will come to pass,
I can't even listen to the priest in mass.
My faith went with your life,
I can barely take my hand away from the knife.
People tell me it is time to go on,
but living with you I was a king now I am a pawn.
I have no course to really take,
now that god and you have forsake.
I cry to no real end ,
knowing you're never is just around the bend.
I give myself up to you and god
now that my life is a fusade
I will not take my life for there is no reason to,
I will just sit here and die waiting for you.
