Time Slipped Away
While my heart searched for my soulmate,
I was busy following fate
and didn't see till it was too late.
Time slipped away!
In a myriad of places
amidst a thousand strange faces,
love has put me through my paces.
Games people play!
Hope is a coin squandered and spent
trying to relieve my torment;
disappointment, and discontent.
And still, I pray!
Dawn's light pierces the heart of Night:
a fledgling Day will soon take flight;
and yet, love is nowhere in sight.
Another day!
