Further Brilliance For You Banal

SOMETIMES SWANS SWIM AWAY TOO SOON What will happen if I feel this way every single day? What will happen when my swan swims away The sun rises and so do I, unsure if I can do all the things I must Because a lady turned my hopes into ashes and dreams into dust It’s always the same time when I watch the moon finally die And only after a few hours do I begin to cry I cry for my loss, I weep for my anger and I wail for my pitiful pain Yet I feel only loneliness while I should harbor such disdain But then I ruminate on how selfish of me it would be How cruel to cage a swan when she yearns to swim so free Free every day to discover a new pond, stream or lake Oh, but what is also unfair is the feeling when I awake It’s all the recollections of such a very short while Which now makes me frown when once she made me smile It’s a hurt so deep a canyon cannot compete But I suppose even for a short while I should be glad we came to meet So no matter what I’d like to know what the universe has to say Will I eventually tame my sorrow so as not to feel like this every day? I’d like to be granted an exemplary excuse And now I’m crying every evening since I set my swan a loose ©2010.….phreepoetree ~free cee! ,
