“The Long Walk Home”
(Thomas Entrican 2/14/2022)
She stands alone in pale moonlight
Staring out into the night
Wonders where her life went wrong
As she makes the long walk home
No one around no one to care
To wonder why she’s walking there
Into the dark where she has gone?
She’s on the long walk home
The painful silence in the air
Reminds her that nobody cares
In silence as she goes along
Tears wet the long walk home
And she remembers all the hurt
And in her soul she feels the curse
And fears her heart has turned to stone
And again the long walk home
If only she knew how to smile
Or just pretend that for awhile
That joy has not left her alone
There on the long walk home
There on this path she never strays
And as she walks she counts the days
When she no longer has to roam
On her last long walk home
