~Misguided Fate~
Prehaps it was fate that made me look,
To make me turn and look to my right to see,
The person that I fell in love with,
The person that I eventually came to marry...
My life lit up from that day,
Feeling a happiness I never knew,
As the day that I kissed you, clothed in white,
Made me look at the world in a kinder view...
But our love became like a candle,
Shining its brightest at when first lit,
But growing dimmer and dimmer as time moves on,
Till it flickers its last, before it dies...
Day after day I sat there alone,
Close to the fire, with a bottle of liqour,
Dangling between the tips of my fingers as I fell asleep,
Never knowing when it could slip into the flames...
But who knew the next time I would close my eyes,
I would wake to find myself in a plain simple room,
Attached to a life support, drip, drip,
That's slowing down my way to the light...
So as everything finally goes through my head,
Listening to the clock tick my last few seconds,
I look back at that moment and wonder... how life would have been,
If I didn't look to the right,
But maybe... looked to the left...
