Life can be so hard

Stained by the illusion
Comets in my hair
Pardon the intrusion
Is anybody there

Stuck alone and reading
Words upon the page
Everyone is bleeding
Prancing on the stage

Masters of invention
Coupled up by none
Questioning intention
When the day is done

Dreams along the ocean
Beaches white with fear
Such a silly notion
Waves can shed a tear

Footprints left to wander
Washed out by the tide
Memories I ponder
Time to run and hide

Still you keep on looking
There upon your seat
Shouldn’t you be cooking
Something very sweet

I can’t stand this feeling
Waiting by the door
Moments time is stealing
Couldn’t ask for more

Just send me a greeting
Not some Hallmark card
Or I’ll run retreating
Life can be so hard
