In Life, In Love, In Sorrow

Scattered once, all around
pick me up, can’t be found
left alone, in the dust
broken dreams, broken trust

Friends are lost, along the way
another night, another day
people watch, love and laugh
nothing’s found, nothing lasts

Hope is gone, it pools despair
look for light, nothing’s there
truth falls back, it’s make believe
those who lead, will all deceive

Evening fades, it takes along
the day’s events, its rights its wrongs
left behind, another day
pieces lost, to yesterday
