Weep

Weep not for me as the sun begins to set

I chose my path as the new day dawned

I chose my path when it was bright

Though I saw the tiny fires begin to burn

In their slow and steady way

Burn to ash my dreams of yesterday.

Weep not for me as the dark begins to rise

I chose my path with open eyes

I chose the flowerless path paved in lies

Down which I strolled with head upheld

In my rigid, stubborn way

As I abandoned my dreams of yesterday.

-0-

Weep not for me as the light begins to fade

I chose my path under clear, blue skies

I chose my path, smooth-paved with hate

As the clouds began to gather

In their constant, rolling way

Soon with rain to drown my dreams of yesterday.

-0-

Weep not for me as the shadows begin to stretch

I chose my path when things were fair

I chose to break behind me the path build in yesteryear

Do not for me shed a tear

In the present times of fear

After I’ve abandoned the dreams that got me here.

-0-

Weep not for me…

I chose my path…

I chose my path…

Every time without delay

In my sightless, selfish way

I cast aside the dreams of yesterday.
