Eternal Lament


All alone, I walk on this road to nowhere
Weighed down by all the guilt and regret.
I look on beyond all that’s left behind
As I try to move on, as I try to forget.

I feel her warmth as the sun burns my face.
When she was still here, I always found my place.
As the wind blows I hear her whisper.
The last words that she spoke, I will always remember.

I feel her caress as the wind blows through my cheeks
She gave me all her strength whenever I felt weak.
I sat on the ground, finally beaten and weary.
too late to say goodbye, too late to say I was sorry.

If I choose to turn back, all that I would find is nothing.
That’s all that is left of what was once my everything.
If I choose to remain still, maybe things would turn out well
Until the storm has passed, I’ll remain inside my shell.

If only there was a way to turn back time
I could be free from this personal damnation.
I could try to erase all past mistakes.
I could have listened to the voice of reason.

I convince myself that I’m perfectly fine
But it’s just so damn hard to pretend.
I may move on, but I can never forget
For so many words were left unsaid in the end.
