Now there is nothing left
that's worth the mention
Yet there is so much more
I wanted to say
The years have passed
as a whirlwind
There was nothing left
that together we had
The horses The trailers
The tractor and truck
The saddles and the tack
All then gone for a song
A funeral dirge
of the saddest kind
A song about the
loss of We and Us
Destruction was there
then relentless
Only one single thing
I could keep
Just a wallet I bought
In Our last days together
Holding the picture ID's
of Our Sons
So on I alone
went through
unending destruction
As though all Hell
existed alone against me
Until I again studied
the sunrise and claimed
a new beginning
alone there
beside the sea
So sorry you're not
still here with me
With a beautiful
start-over play
for keeps
I heard for you
it went very badly
And you languish
In doom and sorrow
and grief
I hurt for you
Knowing the very
moment of
abandonment
You set loose
upon yourself
The worst of all
of your fears
Are you happy
that you succeeded
Did you accomplish
all that you planned?
Didn't you know
I would get up
and go on and do
what we did together
by myself once again?
So on I must go
to restoration absolute
of that which was
Ours then to claim
Knowing you're
gone forever
However
I am again myself
surely restored
But not now nor ever
would it be possible
To recover
Our once
precious Love
once more
We Shared Love
We Cherished Life.
