Alone Again

There were scars that never healed from wounds that ran too deep, While mem’ries caught in nightmares haunted each night’s poor sleep. Tomorrow was still waiting much further down the road, Was lost somewhere in shadows, under a heavy load. Footprints suddenly appeared underneath soft moonlight, Seemed to come from yesterday though no one’s left in sight. Starlight runs the gauntlet held by thunder’s mighty roar, Ever hoping to return but ne’er knowing what for. Emptiness soon filled the void absent fondness once knew, Nothing more needs to be said ‘bout what’s between the two. One now stands alone again as from birth in a time, Watching the lost promise fall from all the ties that bind.
