Ah tis my life
I the blessed young
Past forgotten
My destiny unfulfilled

I fell in love
I lost my way
my beautiful words
They went astray

Ah I pine for the past
How I pine to live over

How did I become
A lowly mind
I who started so fine
to be forgotten

I was so sad
My mind gone bad
all my passions
Drove me mad

Ah I pine for the past
How I pine to live over

They told me so
I was blessed
A prodigy of words
now I merely forget

Come share with me
My last words to thee
Mourn the passing
Of das wunderkind

Ah I pine for the past
How I pine to live over
Ours is the ultimate sadness
We Fallen Prodigies

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Aspirations unfulfilled produce such regret. But the future is still a fresh blank page. Oh, the possibilities!

Fabulous expression, Walter!

I dont think youve lost your words...
your pen will always be there when you need it most. Good to come here and find your name today my friend.

I was reborn on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
Virginia hasn't yet faded away
I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
So I am endlessly waiting
