Slowly but surely the thought dawns
that this chapter is over and all is done,
that never again will my footsteps adorn
the country where our story was begun.
Tediously slowly my insides are set free
from the hopes and dreams that I wove
in thoughts of a future for you and me
in which wed find shelter in loves cove.
My heart is suffering from lethargy,
denying still what my mind already knows,
that theres no hope for myself to be
in the warm embrace your love bestows.
