Sleeps like the lion

 

Alone again,

I walk in the shadows

of better men.

My path never taken.

This stride never broken.

My heart but a token,

it sleeps like the lion

waiting to be awoken.

My pride just a plaything,

I just sigh and walk on.

 

I stand at the crossroads,

but no one is ever waiting.

I walk to the entrance

sign says no vacancy,

doorbell is missing

and it's locked

without a key.

Hope has forsaken me.

Left me to wilt.

Nothing but a flower bud

that has no sunlight,

no nourishment,

nor water spilt.

 

I walk in the shadows.

Just keep walking.

It's easier than falling,

if I ever crashed that low,

I'd never be able to climb back up.

So, I walk.

Alone.

Thinking of sweet buttercups,

and I see

your face in the eyes of the moon.

My love is there looking out to sea,

one day she will see me,

hopefully sometime soon.
