Dark Side of the Moon

When life was beautiful,
You seemed so fresh.
When the mind was free,
No flaw I could see.

Everything you did,
Made me laugh.
And your cheerful smile,
Never revealed your guile.

Somewhere deep down I feared,
My conscience had warned me.
I kept ignoring the sign,
Assuming everything was just fine.

Slowly life began to change,
It started shedding its colors.
You did not seem as immaculate either,
When you lost your funny vigor.

I tried to forget and forgive,
Blamed everything on my fate.
I wanted to give you one more chance,
To help myself come out of the trance.

Then I chose to walk the walk,
Take the road to perdition.
I never wanted anyone alongside,
When I trod along the seaside.

And there you stood on the crossroads,
As lonely as a cloud.
You had lost all your wisdom,
Controlling you was gruesome.

Slowly life dragged on,
Like a never ending highway.
Every breath was fuelling my rage,
While I sat there like a sage.

I was face to face with reality,
As ugly as it looked.
I never knew this aspect of life,
It was like a never ending strife.

Now I have chosen to forgive,
Over time I will forget.
I don't know if I should stay,
Or into the distance I walk away.
