Saw It Coming...

Foreshadows

“Don't ignore red flags...”

I once predicted the ending

To this deplorable thing I called a life…

T’was a fairytale conclusion

Was going to grow old and feeble with my wife…

But I was wrong

Alas, poor foolish, simple old me…

For the wonderful ending I sought

Was never meant to be

I once expected the existence

Of this pitiful thing I called my family…

T’was a loving and caring group

Consisted of a man, woman and a couple of seeds

But (again) I was wrong

Alas, that poor simple foolish dream

Because the loving group I sought

Just wasn’t in the cards, it seems

I once anticipated the appearance

Of this intriguing, helpful, beautiful mate

She’s be caring, loving and faithful

And everything would always be so great

But (once again) I was wrong

Alas, that sad, ignorant bastard child

Who chased an implausible dream

That only lasted a short while…

Unfulfilled desires and what ifs…

Caused me so much pain and grief

But now I write these lines

And it is my only relief…
