Where has all the Passion gone? <br />Long time passing <br />Where as all the Passion gone? <br />Long time ago. <br />Where has all the Passion gone? <br />Died with lost loves everyone <br />When will we ever learn? <br />Perhaps we'll never learn! <br /> <br />Where has our Libido gone? <br />Long past timing <br />Where has our Libido gone? <br />Long pine ago <br />Where has our Libido gone? <br />Sacrificed for 'getting on <br />Oh will we ever burn? <br />Perhaps we'll never burn! <br /> <br />Where has our Affection gone? <br />Past time longing <br />Where has our Affection gone? <br />Long twine ago <br />Where has our Affection gone? <br />Familiarity quenched that one <br />When will we ever yearn? <br />Perhaps we'll never yearn! <br /> <br />Where has acting Silly gone? <br />Daft limbo dancing <br />Where has acting Silly gone? <br />Long clown ago <br />Where has acting Silly gone? <br />No chance to put the red nose on <br />I'll do a clever turn <br />Perhaps I'll never learn! <br /> <br />Where has Youth & Vigour gone? <br />Long time jogging <br />Where has Youth & Vigour gone? <br />Now I am slow <br />Where has Youth & Vigour gone? <br />Lost when I was fifty-one <br />A piitence is all I earn <br />Paycheque too small I earn! <br /> <br />Where have all the Daydreams gone? <br />Long time sleeping <br />Where have all the Daydreams gone? <br />Long time weeping <br />Where have all the Daydreams gone? <br />Replaced by nightmares every one <br />Now I just quake each night <br />Now I just shake with fright! <br /> <br />When will all my Trials end? <br />Short time ahead <br />When will all my Trials end? <br />Wish I was dead <br />When will all my Trials end? <br />When I'm completely round the bend <br />I'm the last rock on the cairn <br />Now I will never learn.<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lament-for-lost-love/
