One year to the day I dared to dream
a Cheshire cat who got the cream
cross seas and thru where once was home
to Harbour Bridge and Opera dome
the day that passed will e’er reman
with vision of you just the same
the gentle touch surround my face
with glowing brush of softest grace
I pine for times between us close
and fight the demons most morose
to seek to look, perhaps to find
the happiness I left behind
for you the cause of so much joy
enlightened as you did this boy
who never felt now such the loss
where life reveals now sanded gloss
I pray you well my sweetheart fair
as I sit here and you lay there
in other life I hope to find
better circumstances us will bind
for now I can but weep, lament
whimper dark and malcontent
the world holds no more which to smile
the streets and screens no more beguile
without the dawn to hear your voice
an endless slumber would be choice
yet wake I do, albeit late
to drowsy frown and cursing fate
for in all I see and all I do
the constant essence hints of you
the anchors and routines I know
the signing off of love, Coco
Song Of The Day ~ Led Zeppelin – Thank You
Do you regret what you have lost when it’s you who seemed to throw away?
do you presume it might be there should you miss it another day?
do you worry for the pining and the disembowelment of regret?
do you crave some quick oblivion to help you to forget?
Was I wrong to let her go, I could not bear to see her sad?
was I wrong to think in time that I would for certain drive her mad?
was I wrong in thinking truly that my love must set her free?
was I wrong to think it best that she should no longer count on me?
Can I live with what I’ve done and will I ever feel again?
can I make it through the longing and the ever-biting yen
can I reconcile the weeping that it never came to pass?
can I console myself in knowing that she deserved a better class?
I can but hope in all the turmoil that she of all might find her peace
I can but hope that rid of me the negatives for her will cease
I can but hope the pain I’ve caused her returns to me where it belongs
I can but hope before my death I might atone for all those wrongs.
