Looking Back

Years ago things were so bleak A broken heart makes a person weak For a very long while things were grim and sad Unfortunately not realizing just what we had Being torn apart, dreams forever shattered At this point there was only one quest that mattered to young and confused to weigh the losses Still years later, the future it crosses How complex the mind, now this I know Time is not a factor - Somethings we just have no control Hey, take a long listen to the skies rolling thunder You may find too - that you cant help but wonder Events drastic in life, so you take a wrong turn Realizing later there's a lesson to learn Finding you need comfort from a friend Thus what once was - has come to an end What was lost to me - was a damn crying shame Life goes on, never to be the same Letting go, being happy, yet missing you so Trying to understand, but time will show Now i am ready to lay the past to rest Cherish happiness and wish for the best Contest : Chasing Away The Blues 02/05/2013
