Divorce

In the wisdom of tomorrow
are the secrets of the past,
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
of love that didn't last.

Seasons blessed with laughter
and long nights wrenched in pain,
The years pass by so quickly
what did I really gain?

I cry when no ones looking
in the quiet of the night,
Everything just came apart
and love fell from my sight.



Will I ever love again?
I want to end this pain,
emotions over whelming
of the love that still remains.

I have to crawl within me
right now I can't be seen,
I can not trust my feelings
to another human being.

Time will heal my bitter wounds
so many people say,
where is time? I need it now
Why can't it come today?

It leaves me here in anguish
No comfort I will find,
it haunts me even in my dreams
to paralyze my mind.

I can not run away from it
it's reach is ever long,
It's everywhere I seem to go
on the radio, a song.









I grasp for simple pleasures
I masquerade a smile,
I venture out in public
for just a little while.

I look at other lovers
the tears well up inside,
the memories are flooding back
I want to run and hide.

But something keeps me going
I do not run away,
I'm thinking now that I will love
perhaps another day.

I almost didn't notice
a smile within my heart,
for the fleeting of a moment
a place for happiness to start.

I know it's not tomorrow
but my time will come at last,
as time will heal these bitter wounds
that haunt me from my past.

So I think I'll keep on going
the sun is in my sight,
slow the darkness of my pain
gives in to healing light.

The wisdom of tomorrow
are the secrets of the past,
I realize now that I will live
this pain will never last.
