For Old Time's Sake

For old time’s sake The night was cold and devilish too You pushed me said I’m leaving you Belligerently you slammed the door Crushing my heart some beastly claw I hear the poet who said loved and lost So much pain no fitting adroit riposte Time’s the great healer revelation came Hardened my resolve shifted the blame Tragically immature couldn’t act your age A small altercation only answered with rage Took me a while to eventually see this thing He had riches and luxury your perpetual fling Been gone a year when your letter came Stage four and alone end of the game Gone your beauty like a wilted rose Ultimately this is the path you chose Confusing thoughts my mind assail As I ponder and look beyond the veil I see this isolated piece of earth Desolate destitute nothing of worth Tough decision like the setting of the sun I will nurse and warm you till day is done Don’t do it it’s another costly mistake But I must even if it’s just for old time’s sake
