Something To Begin

Long ago I had it in my mind It's too broken to fix at one time Glued the pieces together and went again And allowed something to begin Now it's much, much too late Forgetten is the key to the gate There from within the gaping hole Time has won it's ultimate goal It sit's there gathering dust upon that shelf And still that sinking feeling within myself How long has it really been Since I've seen my long lost friend A half dozen years or more Those who hear are so floored I simply don't know where to start If only I really were that smart When all that's there is open space Where belongs the heart in it's place Can't let it seep within The contents of the lonely den Or allow something to begin
