This Is Your Last Love

YOUR LAST LOVE
The shadows have been cast your way
both dark and bleak and black and gray
to play upon your foolish mind
no one can reach or ever find
where you have been and where you'll stay

in search of truth that is not there
although you feel it everywhere
illusive as your last nights dream
where nothing's quite as it would seem
and so you only sit and stare

and try to make some sense of it
the love you've known still hurts a bit
though time has eased the flowing tears
the pain goes on for years and years
and you will not get over it.

Why paint life in such a bleak hue? Is the there no crack for hope and optimism?
