I was away <br />A weak fool of a man <br />Disillusioned <br />I was cold and alone <br />I forgot about you <br /> <br />I couldn’t see <br />The harsh flood of life diminished my view <br />We drifted apart <br />Set sail on a voyage to nothingness <br />Floating on the tide of apathy <br />Slowly sinking in a sea of denial <br />We were both drowning in loneliness <br />I forgot to look for you <br /> <br />I thought I saw a lighthouse <br />But she was just a ship wrecker <br />A grasping collector <br />Casting her net on the cruel sea of love <br />I was awash with desire <br />Flaunting my madness for all to see <br />I forgot about us <br /> <br />I heard the song of the siren <br />She called, she called <br />Drawing me to danger <br />I rushed, I rushed <br />Oblivious to the warning signs <br />I hit the rocks <br />Tossed helpless by torrents of rage and regret <br />Bruised, battered but not quite broken <br />I saw a beacon <br />I remembered you <br /> <br />I remember now <br />I remember <br />When life was a stroll on the beach <br />Hand in hand<br /><br />LOVEFOOL Aka<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lest-we-forget-13/
