Mystery

--

We both messed up;

I can’t blame it all on you

But we could have worked on it

We could have made it through

-

You loved me so much

And for so very long

And I gave you every part of me

To have, to hold and keep strong

-

Together, we could have gone everywhere

And seen the world and the spaces between

We could have climbed mountains and roads

And lost ourselves in the quiet serene

-

We could have grown old in body, not soul

Could have lost track of the time

Could have built a house for two

And lain in the sand and sunshine

-

I used to picture us, the two of us, always and forever

And now you’ve gone away, to disappear from this life

I used to imagine we’d make it through anything together

But it seems I’m left with nothing but mystery, pain, and strife
