I lay awake and think of life
My eyes a stranger to sleep
Thoughts fill my mind with misery
Troubled waters always run so deep
A happy man had been my fare
Smiles graced my morning and night
Then it ended with a simple kiss
Though I didn’t care whether wrong or right
The pain of passion boils so quickly now
As age speeds closer to the end
The mind forgets to recognize the past
When faced with integrity to surely bend
I gambled away a thing I didn’t own
For love remains free in one’s heart
I took for granted that forgiveness would come
Never thinking tainted actions split apart
So now I lay in my bed all alone
Having the place that I made in haste
Years of happiness exchanged for minutes of pleasure
Honor and commitment now laid to waste
