Two Roads, One Lane
Two Roads; One Lane
By; Aidan Gilbert
Daisies are turning blue, Roses are staying red
When a rock dies does it know it was already dead
Stone cold lying in the dirt
Oh did it feel its hurt
It’s too late to cry for my pain
You already disgraced my name
Did the land carry you off your feet
I thought I heard it call your name
Leaving me in pain
I planted the tree of our memories
The leaves are just pictures of me on my knees
It is watered through my eternal eyes
There’s no shame for a man to cry
My heart never returned
I watched in flames you let it burn
Now a days these black walls all look the same…
Back to me is the only place you never came
Same colored sky same colored night
This inside feeling I can’t deny
Every night, only one star so distance and far
I wonder what it sees
When it looks down on me
What happens when a leaf falls
Back at the tree its family calls
It leaves back memories
But the death is all you can see
These whiskey waters are getting dry
That means my love is about to die
I give one final call, but no one picks up
That now means I’m the empty cup
Set down forever…
Erase me never.
