As
my birthday soon approaches
On
my life, I pause to reflect
Where
have I been and what do I seek?
With
age, these discoveries seem less trivial.
‘tis
a time to wish for anewed companionship
Too
many nights and days have been shared
in
the company of a companion that knows me well
That
companion is known as loneliness.
This
path that I have travelled
has
both thrilled and made me blue
Devotion
and love was what I offered
but
my desired treasure, I learned was priceless.
Let’s
not cast blame for this failure
I
was a willing party
I
learned and I pray that I taught
I
shall use those lessons to help me grow.
As
I kiss you goodbye, my once desired treasure
for
the heartache I inflicted, I beg you to forgive
I
too, give the freedom that you need and seek
One
day perhaps, a worthy suitor will claim thy treasure.
