The Secret In Her Eyes


There's a time when the ice is melting...

...and a time when the ice is melted.

Is this really all there is?

Middle age mediocrity?

Dared nothing, am nothing

A list of cold possessions

Teenage ambitions she remembers well

But tells no one of her empty hell

Children laughing in the street...

...have no idea of her defeat

"Don't out me for my wasted time"

Of dagger thrusts through love's heart

Withdrawals gone from life's bank

Hungover, rowed out to sea

Impractical practicality

Was the impossible possible?

Always right - never in the right

Gilded lies make a pauper's cage

Fingers slip losing grip

Lovely Rita's face bloats blue

Always an answer, never a solution

Refusal of success...

...Proves the lying true

Ignorant praise suffocation

Who's to tell when I have died...

...of the true love I denied?
