OLD MAIDEN
Just there over that ocean,
way beyond that horizontal line,
that's where I should have gone.
Gone with him who once was mine.
Had only I honestly spoken,
Loneliness would never be a stain,
Had only I earnestly listened,
To him who was there in pain.
Now suddenly, everything seemed dim.
A future so silently forgone.
Swallowed in regret, so firm,
Asking, "Will I be forever alone?"
