The Wandering woman
From a child
I've always believed,
That one-day
My future will be achieved.
My prince charming will come
And take me away,
But isn't that
Too cliché?
I ponder with memories
And think of my dreams,
Will he ever come?
Doesn't seem.
I watch him from afar
To shy to wander,
I scold myself
For doing nothing but squander.
Now a young woman
Able to think alone,
I try to defy
That there is no throne.
He has now grown
From boy to man,
Gone away
To build his own clan.
But here I sit
Growing old but wise,
Screwing life
And it's tortureous lies.
I die in vain
Knowing the truth,
I've wasted all my life
And all my youth.
Now I may wander
Free atlast,
Around the streets
Of my lonley past.
He achieved his goal
And I'm happy for him,
After all he's been through,
It's his turn to win.
But somehow I get the feeling
He's not quite forfilled,
It's been the longest time,
Since he smiled.
He's missing someone
I see that clearly,
But I never thought of it
This dearly.
It could've been any girl
Pretty, wild and smart,
I never thought
That I played the lead part.
He's crying at my grave
And I feel his sadness,
And now it's time
To end this madness.
I finally step up,
Not scared anymore,
I finally realise
Who this is for.
I stand behind him
Slowly reaching out,
Nothing can stop me now
Not even doubt.
I embrace his gently
And I feel his tense,
But all of this
Seems to make sense.
He relaxes and stands
Turning round with a smile,
This journey has been
So worthwhile.
I can now sleep I peace
Knowing for the best,
The wandering woman
May now rest.
