It would come to days like this:

dirt beneath my fingernails,
the aching that grows colder,
the truth I'm getting older
without comfort of her kiss
which so soothes my daily ails,
and her shelter from the gales.
(My love, my life, my soul's bliss!)

I'm mad I wasn't bolder.
I'm sad; I should have told her.
Didn't know when true love fails
it would come to days like this....

It seems to always come to days like this.  We never see them coming, but they sure hit hard.  Great expression, Topheth.

nice to see you here again...
my fav part..

"I'm mad I wasn't bolder.
I'm sad; I should have told her.
Didn't know when true love fails
it would come to days like this...."

but next time ...
be a little bolder
risk all you are to hold her
for so much do you lose
lost within your confuse
