Looking back
The journey was long
Your hand in mine felt strong
Promising happiness
Without loneliness.
I felt my heart filled
Anytime we walked
Problems forgotten
And happiness begotten.
You were my prince charming
With kindness bewildering
Promising nothing nasty
On a road that was dusty.
I clung to you
Like a tick on a ewe
Hoping for the very best
Even to the very last.
Better said than done
For like a dove it was gone
For everything looked nasty
And the relationship was now fusty.
