i stand at the end of our street
at our special place
where we used to meet
now life has turned so bad
your memory is so sweet

if i look back i can't recall
why i let you go
you were my heart and soul
you made sense of it all

and now i near my time to die
and wander here alone
i want to look once more in your eyes
and feel what we felt before

just one more touch from your hand
so long forgotten
so long forbidden
one last kiss where we used to stand

before the final end of rhyme
at the end of our street
at the end of my life

at closing time

I agree.. this was very well done..A great piece

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Ditto to the above.
Excellent writing here, though that's nothing new.
But * sniff * !!
How sad!

i love this allan!  the idea of "closing time"...what a great way to put the nearness of death, while standing on the corner near closing time ..

wonderful writing again
