William F Glennon Poems

Life has taken a change of direction.
Steps are taken with pain and reflection.

My fate is fixed. Part of me is lost.
...

If the world can see the pain in her eyes.
The feelings of defeat, as she cries.

She wonders if tomorrow is the same.
...

I made so many mistakes.
I left much heartaches.

Do I need to understand the enigma?
...

You have no one else to impress.
The life you thought was yours is a mess.

Are you still the same soul as before?
Are you the same old tired bore?
...

You close your eyes, only to deny the truth behind the lies.
Captive in an emotional prison waiting for hope to decide.

Put your heart away and see you're really to blame.
...

The twilight shines bright below the horizon in New York.
The lights of the skyscrapers turn on like clockwork.

Sounds of hissing steam come up through the manholes.
...

The time will come to let it go.
Feelings of sorrow she'll eternally know.

Slow down and make what time you have left last.
...

The numbness has taken it all away.
The past gone with no dismay.

The feeling of existence is here.
...

There's a desire we need to escape from.
To run from what we've become.

The head's clouded by the need for passion.
...

I made it through another day.
I did the best I can with the chance given.

I can buy a clock but not the time.
...
