In the night a baby cries
far away from my lonely bed.
In a life far beyond mine.
in a place of bright sunlight.
where happiness blooms.
I can see you there clearly
long hair highlighted in sunlight
a soft warm smile
welcomes me home.
it is only the specter
of the Angel of regret.
For you are with another now.
as am I.
our time has passed
still you visit me in darkness.
With all of the things
that might have been.
I know those happy people
that visit are us.
Somewhere far away
in the night
a baby cries.
