I Am Your Destiny
The day will come, my dear…
When you will finally realize
There will be no further denying me
No escaping from what destiny
Has planned for thee
I have tolerated your indifference for
Far too long
Remained in the shadow of your life
While you gallivanted here and there
And everywhere with nary a thought of me
Well…
My dear
I have waited through the years
Through all your laughter
And…
Through your tears…
And..
That time...
When life had let you down
That autumn when you laid
yourself upon the ground
So close to me
And for a moment
I thought that you were mine
But…
Again…
You turned away from me
Your mind and soul on fire
Captured, enraptured
By the beauty of
That last leaf
Of autumn
Falling from the tree
A crimson flame
That threw itself upon the wind
To fly away…free at last
Then...
I watched you rise
And walk away
Lost to that
Moment in time
That moment…
That quickly erased the thought of me
From your mind
But Alas, my dear
I have all the time in the world
So…
I wait for you
Knowing one day
You will come to me
For I am your destiny
And…
