My Fatal Plight

My Fatal Plight

When will the summer sun
shine through my cloudy eyes?
How do I find the truth
beneath layers of lies?
When will I feel the warmth
from a lover’s embrace?
Why does the mirror show
aging lines on my face?

Oh I guess I should have known
that a dream won’t turn to gold
And the darkness always wins
As the demon waits and grins
And the music of the soul
Needs someone to make it whole
Oh tell me
Why can’t I see stars in the sky tonight?
As I ponder my fatal plight

Where is my special one?
Brought to me out of fate
Doesn’t he know it’s time?
Why does he make me wait?
Is love like a dying flower
That won’t have the chance to bloom
Why do I find myself alone
in my darkened room?

I tried to find the motivation
For other people’s indignation
And look beyond their hatred
For glimmers of something sacred
But all that I’ve been shown
Is a world that hasn’t grown
Oh tell me
Why can’t I see stars in the sky tonight?
As I ponder my fatal plight
