Birthday Blues

37 this Saturday My expectations come into play Thinking I'd be in another place By this time I've had great Love and great Loss Been broken down at a heavy cost No one to pull me back to shore Drowned the sorrows I couldn't ignore Worked in the trenches, rescued friends Still feeling lonely in the end No little Ones to call my own A beautiful queen on an empty throne Pink roses on a table bright Remind me of a passion slowly dying Please can't I have just one more try To have a happy life
