Life

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love." Sophocles, Greek Poet I have forever loved you my dearest. I'd nothing to give, 'cept love, sincerest. Throughout my life, the thing I held nearest - A broken heart, through weather severest. Life on this earth can be a heavy weight. When I am alone, the burden feels great. Trudging down the road, helpless against fate, Living is confusing, hard to relate. Aimless traveling, a bum on a freight, Growing so weary, it's gotten so late. Survival is my goal in decade eight. Soon, I will be approaching heaven's gate. When the blessed day comes, and I take flight With an angel's wings, I will feel so light.
