And so it goes
another day
another love
to cast away...
another memory
pinned to wall--
another fool--
I've had them all.

Dismissed, am I--
under-estimated...
but I will not
count tears as wasted...
every one
was wall undone,
each drop a silver
of my soul...
each prayer for you
unmeasured gold...
a feast before you
left untasted.

And no, you should not
count me out...
I've forty years
of rage to shout...
and unlike you,
I take my pain,
ease scorch of sun
with tears of rain...
I will not lock myself away.
I live to love another day.

Serenity...

Never give up! I like this statement you've made with this piece!
Keep the "chin up" attitude!
