Maybe I was meant to be alone
In the end we all are you know,
Callous feet to walk me home
Hardened heart to one day slow
As soundest sleep secures my destiny.
Even as I watch the last waves
Lap upon the shoreline bringing
Day’s end, the ebbing water craves
Another lonely soul to a calming
Unrelenting sea of tranquility.
Go away keeper of the dark night
Have not this outsider’s spirit then;
Even though my melancholy might
Rest in the sand where are hidden
The cigarette butts of life,
Yet my mind begins to soar anew.
