Oh for the words to say what lays inside- Emotions, fears, and all the stains, of former tears I’ve cried. The pain the past inflicted, which lingers on and on- If I but had the words they’d make a sad and lonely song. The emptiness which sorrow leaves behind- It’s melancholy strains which tend to echo through the mind- Regrets for hurting all the ones whom in the past we’ve wronged If I could only write them down, they’d make a mournful song The doubts, and rank confusion; which dwell within the mind- It’s hard for me to tell today, from days I’ve left behind- The years fly by so quickly, now, I wonder where they’ve gone- If I could trace their dismal path, ‘twould be a sad old song... The scars of self inflicted wounds, by harsh things that we’ve said Especially to people, who have long ago been dead- The weakness left in places, that years ago seemed strong- Like character and concious, would make for quite a song. |

You got a factory there, slinger? If so, it puts out one hell of a product. Another excellent piece. |

Strong strong words. They would indeed make a mournful song. K |
