Now I ponder the wisdom and love I lost.
"Don't tell me what to do," was my refrain,
He was always right.
Instead, I fought battles that would never cease.
He stopped offering his wisdom and grace,
So if you're listening, take my advice,
I pushed away what I needed the most,
Lying here, it's too late to mend,
But I chose the path, I made my own choice,
He grew so tired of my stubborn ways,
Heed the ones who love you, be wise,
As the night falls and the world fades to grey,
His frustration grew, his patience swayed,
Memories flood back, like waves in the bay,
Now I'm left with echoes of regret and pain.
To the man I adored,
But I was stubborn again and again.
In the twilight of my years, truth shines bright,
In his arms, I could have found peace,
His gentle wisdom, his guiding light,
Knowing I'd reject it, lost in my own space.
And now I'm left with only the night...
Oh, I wish I'd listened more
He'd speak softly, with love in his voice,
But I cherish the love he did send,
Tears now filling my fading eyes.
Time slipping away, but I remember it all,
I see his face, kind and wise,
Don't let pride leave you empty inside.
Could have saved me so much pain
In this quiet room, shadows dance on the wall,
For in the end, love's the truest guide,
Now I'm haunted by the ghost of every lost hope.
A lifetime of choices, so many roads I've crossed,
