The State of Self By Self

The State of Self by Self The meter of time flows without thought As the clock of life continues with us In every tick of its tock We send ourselves forward as gifts To the world to perceive as just A reflection of what? I wish you could see what I do The world in a rose colored glass With you by my side and a laugh that was shared Is what makes life one that should last The experience shared by two and not one Is double the joy that can be But when two becomes one That joy is undone and the laughter just ceases to be I wish you could see what I do The world in a rose colored glass You were there by my side with a laugh that was shared It was what made life one that should last Now I stand at the abyss of an empty shell Of what I was once now again My self-predisposed to self and one knows I can’t last in a state of my own I wish you could see what I do The world in a rose colored glass With you not at my side and no laugh to be shared My life no longer should last As memory fades and life passes by With your smile and your charm and resolve To be one again and never to be although very involved I wish you could see what I do The world in a rose colored glass Always there with a laugh that was shared Was what made my life one that should last
