Destiny

sunset-3156176_1280

Tragic are the days
Without a hand to hold
When love is miles away
And nights are forever cold

And as those days turn into years
Futility becomes our only lover
The heart begins to lose
Any chance to rediscover

We spend our remaining years
Sad and all alone
Without another person
To call our very own

And we regret the time
We wasted in between
It’s too bad our destiny
Remained unforeseen

Another day…

Another day
Another hour
Production wanes
Thoughts sour

Empty hands
Cold as ice
Poor decisions
Paying the price

Morbid days
Never ending
Searching for
A new beginning

Dreaming big
Yet standing still
Almost out
Of drive and will

maker

He would decide her fate
Though to her it was too late
For her future position was set
Her maker had paid the final debt
