Once I was lost on a lonely road
Once I was cross with the heavenly bode
“You gave me much”, I said with a heavy heart
but when it was time to reward my might,
why did you depart?
‘Ask and thy shall receive’, you say,
when it came my turn, you quietly slipped away.
What was it that I did wrong whose consequences I reap,
what was it that made you irate enough, to turn my fortune wheel.
Now, I don’t usually play the victim, you know
But who else am I supposed to go to if there’s no where to go.
All those times you blessed me with fortune, I accept,
but only when I needed it most why bless me with such foul descent.
“Believe” they said, “have patience”, “accede”
Well, I tried all those things, where did that lead me?
You probably don’t know what it’s like to have the grail finally crack,
to face reality,
join the other millions on the ‘hopeless’ track.
Pray tell why shouldn’t I be aggrieved,
He made me take my dream and drown her with my own two hands in the stream.
Of course, the funeral has to take place,
but the only black bereaved is the lack of glow on my face,
or the shine in my eyes, the white of my smile.
It came as such a shock, I have to register it still,
my mind has not yet come to terms with the loss to instil.
So of course I walk on this lonely road, conversing with GOD,
treading hesitantly, knowing that I’ll be happy someday
but this empty crack left in my heart might never go away.
