Fly Away

Night after night 

I pass away,

Within my sorrow,

I drift away!

Day after day,

I labour away,

Within my memories,

I drown away!

Moment after moment,

I sulk away,

Looking for happiness,

I break away!

Reality strikes,

Truth prevails,

I tell myself to move ahead, but,

My heart still longs for those now far away!

Sigh!

Life is too short, start right away!
