Forest of lost hopes

The forest of lost hopes, a place I walk so often
wander through this path, in here its always autumn
amble amongst fallen dead leaves, golden tears of the trees above
as I remember my only real love

My feet wet as I walk this route, the ground sodden, saturated
i look back, last time I saw you, my tears build, devastated
add to the wet ground, as I recall the smile on your face
a look that stays in my heart for all time, its own place

Those years so far gone, they blur the memories, as I sit here
in this moonlit clearing, the dark blue black sky suits my mood, a shed tear
reminds me of the life we had, never knew it wouldn't last
never thought it would be snatched from sight. the sky goes overcast

Rain drips through the branches, welling up like the tears I cry
now so many, a tidal flow, all my emotions let loose, cant stop it, I try
the swampy ground consumes me, as I relive past mistakes
my love the one constant, honest, an eternal promise, I can never break

Night turns to day, find a way out of this woodland, life advances
I always hold you in my heart, though I never got my chances
I promised to protect you, to always love you
my son these promises are always still true

thanks for reading,
