A DREAM THAT HAS PASSED ME BY

A DREAM THAT HAS PASSED ME BY

A dream that I thought would come true

All the way through

So real, so true

Has escaped, I never gave it a chance

There was a glance

A very short glimpse but then was it a trance

Like state

Seemed so surreal

Bizarre, macabre

Sending shivers down my spine

That glimmer of sunrays

As I walk this lonely, lonely shoreline

I still see your face

Smiling sweetly

Or was that a sneer or a snigger?

Smirk with a hint of a

‘You’re a jerk’

 Laughing stock of this race?

Well jerk how does it feel to be laughing on the other side of your face now?

That seven year itch is a bitch

But this woman is worth more than that BITCH

The lighthouse maybe in darkness now

But way deep, deep inside there is a beacon

Shining its light forth

Round and round

Backwards and forwards

I’m no lost soul

Heck are you kidding that I would lose that once more

You may snigger

Titter and chuckle

But guess who has the last word

And snigger, titter, and chuckle

I guess right now you may be thinking

She’ll be back, she always does

Oh jerks take a long, long look at your disgrace

The one user that will always escape

But in time, give it time

Guess who wins this battle of the wills

I WILL

So I walk this shoreline

Its beauty holds it all

I feel it, breathe it

Awakening with time

Sun shining
