Why Would I Again Choose?

Why would I again choose?

Why indeed but to lose

All of those simple things,

Like love’s mean fairy rings?

 

The sun set a while ago,

Time dispels her quiet woe,

The stars are veiled tonight,

They can’t cast their soothing light;

 

The moon is guarded too,

Tonight she begins anew,

A new tale, a new spin,

Where again I won’t win.

 

All I sought in all this black

Was for love to love me back,

Since it can’t the way I choose,

I’ll just get ready to lose.

Revelation

The wonder doesn’t last,
The smiles fade away,
The hope from the past
Burns up today.

You held him too close,
There is no chance now,
To vainly suppose
He will keep his vow.

The shades burst too soon,
The night comes to wail,
Darkness takes the moon,
Silence takes the tale.
