Different Faces:

The days so few and far and in-between, Loneliness I never knew has captured my soul, The sweet smell of her hair I remember so well, But even with her, I was never quite whole. My nights too are lonely and blue, Memories fading into the distance again, How do I abide when all my youth I have spent, In taverns and bars with occasional friends. Nobody warned me I'd be sitting alone, I guess I always figured, life just goes on, So here I sit contemplating my fate, Wondering all the time where did I go wrong. Interpreting meanings that make no sense, Floundering my time in various places, Never seeing the light that shines so bright, When I look into the mirror I see different faces. There is a spark but it will not ignite, There are steps but they have no spring, Lost in the ocean just one of mankind, Like a prayer that cannot sing. /|\
