I''Ll Crawl To The Finish Line.........

The hour came the gun fired The race began in haste A new life was born Wrapped in mystery Unknown was her journey The warmth of her mother's bosom Comforting her for now The first lap was done Sleep came and she slept The hour came, the gun fired The race began in haste Sweet melodies of childhood Unperturbed she played The games of childhood Comforting her for now The second lap was done Sleep came and she slept The hour came, the gun fired The race began in haste Beating was the sounds of the hood Adolescence was sweet Flowing like honey Discovering her youth The beautiful fountain of life The third lap gone Sleep came and she slept The hour came. The gun fired The race began in haste Her early twenties were the years Fuming and sizzling with wonderful things Sparkling with the joy of youth Love came and she embraced The mysterious spell was sweet Consuming her being She drowned, unable to let go The love that was doomed Because her heart was hooked Imbibed she was drunk Drunk with the juices of love The mysterious spell unseen Devouring her heart Her only mistake was to love Sleep came and she was awake Awoken by the endless dream That pursued her every thought Nightmares uninvited Invading her mind Causing her unimagined pain The terrible price of love Sleep came and she was awake Streams of sweat down her head Trying to wash her pain away The pain that robs her of sleep Causing her heart to ache The song in her heart disturbed Messed by the thing she loved The one she thought was to be The one and only one to ring her wedding bells with Sleep came and she was awake Approaching was dawn Her eyes pierced by the approaching light The promise of a better day The day she shall be able to let go The love that was doomed The terrible price she paid Stumbling on the racecourse When the race was hers She let go of the win Settling for the bronze The gold flashing past her Zooming with speed of light Discouraged she was not For the day has come The beginning of an end Sleep came and she was awake The final lap was dying Having made her mind She knew she was done Drowning in her sorrow Settle for the pain she refused Encouraged by the bright sunrise She dreamed of the day of victory Her heart pounding she will run Past her sorrows towards happiness Her thoughts swelling, brimming with tears of joy As she crawled across the finish line
