Good Night

Good Night...


Finally today, I understand it,
how some, from life, just turn and walk away.
I sat there, and no longer could I stand it-
An empty heart to mark an empty day!

I think I'll walk towards the rising sun
'til this day's gone, and if I must, I'll run.

The reasons I should stay surround my mind
with all the needs my presence must fulfill.
They run in different currents as they wind
around my daily life, of their own will.

Yet still I want to walk towards sunrise,
away from someone else's needs and ties!

I have spent oh so much yet find I owe
another ounce of specie you won't spend.
The love I had, in your heart would not grow,
so how can this not therefore be an end?

An end, which has been living in your heart.
An end, to which, before, I wished no part!

But how can we continue in this way,
when we no longer laugh nor share our tears?
We both know you would never beg me stay,
and I for one, would give us no more years!

We danced our dance- we danced and sang our song-
The song was short, perhaps the dance too long?
