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
