The Path Complacency Paves
I stood at the spot where I last saw your smile
Memories stirred like the wind in spring time
It felt right to be there so I lingered for a while
Since you’ve been gone I can’t find my rhyme
I should have noticed the distance was growing
And, that far away look that was in your eyes
Should have seen that your face wasn’t glowing
And discerned that you had resorted to lies
If only I had noticed the warning signs were on
Perhaps I could have loved you like you needed
If only I had heard your heart so softly moan
And your cries for love I had quickly heeded
Then perhaps I would not be standing here alone
With memories crashing in like ocean waves
In a place and time of love that is now forgone
Walking this rocky path that complacency paves
