David William Breidenthal Poet Rhyme

Lost It All

I literally feel like I've lost it all 
When I thought I was on the ball

I don't want to deal with anything at all
When I knew you were going to call

I don't want to spend my years alone
Without you by my side...on my own…

I will never fully recover the moment you left me in my lonesome tent 
I will never fully remember the times we've squandered and spent

Believe in me and you'll clearly see
That happiness is meant to be...with me…

Relieve the sorrow of yesterday's dismay
Grieve not for me - no, oh no…not today

The shallow shadows consume me in the dead of night
The reflections in the water below us is shining bright

I apparently won everything somehow
But, yet I gained nothing - what now?
