When you think back on what could have been
when you are alone, your fortunes in review
when the years have delivered their half-hearted wins
for your guarded heart that safely withdrew
Then will you admit when no soul can hear
Then will you wail to know all that was tossed
Then though the bell tolls in destiny's ear
your one chance at true love was lost.
No going back, nothing as severe
No time left for the star-crossed.
Despite divine decree you ignored the signs
month after month and year after year
until you became the tempest-tossed
and your true love died one thousand times.
