Love Poem: Long Lonely Walk

Long Lonely Walk

Sometimes when I read about love
And I am into the page
And I remember myself when I was
Coming of age
I don’t see any reason to not ever
Give this away
I see no musical instrument
For me to play
But I will sing alone as I wait out
Everyday

Seems to me I have always just
Felt this way
Seems like everyone I want to love
Never will stay
No matter how I hold on tight it keeps
Getting away 
So I shiver inside my own cold soul
Everyday
As I wait the time when you come to
Finally stay

And it’s ok to fall in love and
Drift away
But it’s only a dream and I dream 
I drifted away
And I feel inside of this dream
I may stay
When I think of all the times I cry
and that’s every day
I just sleep and dream of music someday
I will play
It’s such a cold and long  				                                          
Lonely wait
But I cannot break one in two 
It is my fate

Seems now I am always afraid 
If I ever think of what I owe 
I have already paid
I only hope someone finds a way in
It’s getting late
Still I wait so patiently and I
Opened the gate
All my dreams may have to drop inside 
and permanently wait
And walk forever on a crooked road
I will never get straight
