By the Bay: A Pathetic Poem
I saw a lover alone near the water
The lonely woman inside my head
I kissed her blankly and she waited
for me to find myself instead
I went to see a new big city
I found myself a job up there
I walked around sad and lonely
and always hid the fact I cared
But now I find a time each day
To sit and think thoughts of you
Torturing myself with right and wrong
Thinking about what I should do
But there’s nothing left for me to save
No point in loving you any more
I wander round my lonely harbour
and cross the cold and violent shore
If only you could see me now
To see how much I’ve grown
I’m strong and tough and smart and sad
Maybe you’ve always known
One day I hope you’ll call me again
You’ll smile and make it all okay
It’s only a shallow dream, perhaps
But maybe we’ll be together one day.
