Fate, as a providence so far distant, so divine.
To keep me here, but am I truly alive?
Maybe...if only I could yet see a sign.

That this life, this struggle is mine.
There to challenge me, or make me thrive?
Fate, as a providence so far distant, so divine.

The junction where love and loss do combine.
Will I find I have the strength to survive?
Maybe...if only I could yet see a sign.

To prove this is some grand design,
And keep me going, restore my drive,
Fate, as a providence so far distant, so divine.

Give me vision, rather strength to redefine,
That for which I strive...
Maybe...if only I could yet see a sign.

To know how fate and I do align,
And what now, our junction will contrive.
Fate, as a providence so far distant, so divine
Maybe...if only I could yet see a sign.
What if I seek where there is no meaning?
Rather just memories, ripe for the gleaning...

From a still troubled mind,
Wandering in hope that it may find...
The other to its lonely half,
So again this soul may laugh.

Mirth in every breath,
Yet still, step by step closer to death...

A day wasted,
After such a love was but tasted...
Taken,
Rather, lost by one so mistaken.

In the very role heart did play,
To do more, then even words can say...

To love and then lose,
That is not what I choose...
You may yet pass me by,
Still as I tear, wondering why.

Does love fall fated,
As all life is created?

To live,
And then to die...
Such an existence,
But a lie.
Nights pass dreamless
just as the days do.
Often seamless,
in the absence of you.

Memories stir like a summer storm
upon me in an instant.
In your too familiar form,
and times well spent.

Rain from my eyes
to fall on this bed.
Once to muffle lover's sighs,
and rest your head.

As your hair falls around me
now I see.
Feelings I thought were key,
no more than what you wished to be.

Friends
and then something more.
So here, this is how it ends,
we've got nothing left in store.

Brilliant from the start
one, but now two sundered.
Destined to be apart,
no more love, into which we blundered.
How
At times even in the space between thoughts
I find the sweetest memory often rots.
For so long my heart has lain fallow,
When once it was love you did hallow.

So now as pain may fade,
Still I find who was played.
Batted lash, and playful smile,
To soon make my own mind hostile.

Foreign now the idea of clarity
Loneliness, my truest disparity.
For the time with you,
I never dreamt to rue.

Sweet promises made,
And beautiful plans laid.
Fall to dust,
Just as all love must.

As with all we care about,
Ever the element of doubt.
Is present here and now,
The question rather, is how?

To lose the one you love...
And still move on,
When your other half is gone.
The deepest pain I know of.

That is,
To lose the one you love...
Goodnight I say to you.
As darker thoughts to disclose.
As our intentions do juxtapose.

To face my tears
With but a brave smile.
Words never so hostile.
To a mind which works in pairs.

Of myself and you.
This is yet true.
We were just a lie.
In such a torrent we are just a sigh.

Cast upon the breeze.
Left to chance with such ease.
How can love live so free?
Ponder this without the you with me.

Fears may fall,
Just as pain, to raise another wall.
Break them back down for old times sake.
Now there's more at stake.

Show me you learned.
Something from every bridge you burned.
Justify every little lie.
Teach me why I cry.

Tears to shed in vain,
Shed over you?
The one thing, I cannot attain.
Tell me, what would you do?

When one most adored,
Simply just gets bored?
When the same words once spoken
Leave you shattered, broken...

— The End —
