The Long Walk Home

“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
