Pages torn from the book of lies
Betrayed by the haze of a sad child's eyes...

I have lingered in the shadows of deceit
Where the bonds of love and kindness never meet...

Once again in my place
You're silent slap across my face...

It's hard, searching inside
Not seeing the glimmer...

I really haven't left you
I'm only going home...

It's a night of easy recall
When I was a guest...

A light that once glistened
Fade paler to dim...

I stand on the spot
That once held our day...

A new season arrives
Then makes way for the next...

They pass on by
One maybe two...

A storm doles out this dismal night
Rain drops drizzle down cobblestone course...

I have lingered in the shadows of deceit
Where the bonds of love and kindness never meet...
