Sorrow Flight
I 'm so sorry that I have to go
There are so many things I want you to know.
That even though here it does end
I surely hope we are still friends.
My taxi awaits to take me away
to my reserved seat on that sad plane.
The plane that cries real tears as it flies
when it sees all the hearts broken inside.
A new destination a new place to live
To be back with you, oh what wouldn't I give.
Surrendering all of my worldly goods
seems hardly fair but do it I would.
I think of you now asleep in our bed'
Is it dreams of us that play in your head?
But alas I do know your feelings have changed
Forcing me to go board this plane.
I have no idea what brought us to this
What ended our short marital bliss.
I promised forever and I meant it too
What changed that for you, I wish that I knew.
But bitterness not will I let taste on my tongue
But only the joy of our fleeting love.
I am wishing well as I taxi away.
Hoping past hope I come back some day.
Now as the plane cruises due south
I look down upon our dream house
I see the threshold over which you I carried
When only yesterday it seems we were married.
So at cruising altitude as I whiz right by
I join the plane as we both cry
But with all my strength I wish you the best
And when I land I find happiness.
The sadness of a break up
