In A Sentimental Mood – The Man And The Failure

I was young at the time,
younger then I am now,
crawling through the corridors,
with sore feet and tired mind.
My mind getting worse,
not a bright moment,
nothings fun,
no one attractive,
the only thing tempting,
is a jar of sleeping pills.

But then something happened,
you came along,
you were beautiful,
I did not know you,
you did not know me,
we never knew each other,
it did not matter,
I liked you anyway,

You are so pretty,
so fragile,
I like you,
I would like to get to know you,
but I don’t have the nerve to,
to think of you is so calming,
I wounder how things would be if we where together,
In my dreams we are together,
we are both very happy,
it’s only you and me,
no one else.

But then,
the unthinkable happens,
I see you with someone else,
you walk,
you are holding hands,
you are getting close,
you are kissing,
…

My mind getting worse,
not a bright moment,
nothings fun,
no one attractive,
the only thing tempting,
is a jar of sleeping pills.
