Footprints On Sand

Time passing along, memories of days grand However hard I try to grip, it sieves through my hand Through crevices between my fingers that once formed a fist What exists today is bitter sadness; my life's gist Once upon a time I was blessed, with tears more of joy than pain When life was blissful and normal, I had happiness to gain Now all that's left is a shell, with thoughts of seasons gone by My loved ones have turned their back on me, and all I can do is cry Where did I go wrong, did I love too much Did I expect beyond reason, pressurize and such Or was I stupid to believe, that good beckons good And trusted everyone around, while they dug the ground on which I stood It is now the dusk of my life, and the skies turn red I try to see goodness in my world, before I am dead But what I see are remnants of a broken relationship's band And I slowly fade away, like footprints on sand
