Merriment that never ends.
This façade can’t make amends.
Happiness is my charade.
Visions from my yesteryear,
Acting wild and drinking beer,
Living days so insincere.
Thinking ‘bout the choices made.
Losing life I can’t retrieve.
Mourning loss, but cannot grieve,
Emptiness I can’t conceive.
Pondering the life I’ve laid.
Sinking fast in my despair.
Burdens far too great to bear,
Reaching out, but no one’s there.
Loneliness, the price I’ve paid.
What I’ve sown, I now must reap,
Languid, not allowed to sleep,
Suffering, I cannot weep.
Pain is caused by this charade.
Growing bitter in my age,
Seeking wisdom from the sage,
Wishing I could turn the page.
Weary from this game I’ve played
Consequences turning dire,
Twisting, tangled in the mire,
Fearing I will face His ire.
I must end this masquerade.
On my search I now embark,
Stumbling, groping in the dark,
Praying, pleading for a spark,
Rescue me from my charade.

Oh,how many of us have lived this line. Great poem.
Loneliness, the price I’ve paid.
What I’ve sown, I now must reap,
Languid, not allowed to sleep,
Suffering, I cannot weep.
Pain is caused by this charade.
