Bleak prospects

\nWhen yesterday’s the only day tomorrow wants to be
\nAnd all your future’s looking at your past
\nWhen you are gone and I’m alone depending just on me
\nThen every day will feel just like my last<\/p>\n
When Birthdays only rattle past to mock me as I age
\nWhen happiness is left to all the rest
\nThen I will know that I placed my last thoughts on the page
\nAnd finally I’ve failed at every test<\/p>\n
Each year I spent when you were gone would be more than a life
\nEach life would be a torture for my soul
\nI never wanted anything, except you for my wife
\nIf you were gone I never could be whole<\/p>\n
The weather every day would be just bleak and bitter grey
\nEach meal would see me eat a plate of gruel
\nPlease never leave and send me to this fate of sad decay
\nNo angel ever could become that cruel<\/p>\n
The petty pace that days arrive, is galloped to a race
\nWhen tomorrow is a day that I’ll see you
\nSo I shall smile and hold you tight and keep you in this place
\nWhere you and I are safely one not two<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
