The Song

It was a dance I
Never wanted to end
It was something that
Was worth a backward bend
I wanted it forever
Addicted, afflicted
This drink of life and love
A disease: couldn't kick it.

But all good things
Do end one day
The time we had
Was blown away
Like chaff on the wind
Did I do wrong?
I wanted to keep on
Singing this song.

But I lost my voice
The time ran away
I was left in the tide
That carried me astray
Things kept coming up,
I was crazy busy
Just couldn't hold out
I got crazy dizzy.

And now here I am
And there you are
Two people apart
Watching from afar
We once had something
But that something's gone
And now all that's left
Is the echo of a song.

When I get the impulse, I write. Here is the result. Kinda yuck but well. I like it.
