Devils Peak

Why look for me at the foot of Devils Peak I hear you visit there every other week It was the choice that you made so long ago Hate saying it but you recall I told you so I too have memories of our rendezvous So smitten so very much in love with you I know your feelings for me was sincere Even agreed we’d get married next year I remember waiting till dusk that fateful day Watched a blue sky turn to a morbid grey You never came just a callous phone call Fruitlessly trying in monotones to explain it all I could never visit or go near that place again A fragmented heart could not bear more pain Alone like a boat tossed about in a boisterous sea Rudderless lost thinking who could ever save me Someone succinctly said I will find love someday A truer love would most certainly come my way But I knew loving someone else would be unfair On the mountain a piece of my heart I left it there Isn’t it strange how time unobtrusively passes us by So many years have gone what still remains is why I expressed my feelings but I bear you no malice Hope you never have to drink of this bitter chalice Behold the bird with the olive branch in its beak Suggesting that maybe now there’s peace on Devils Peak
