There I was just sitting in the park
On a bench, alone, scared, and in the dark.
Along you came and sat next to me for awhile.
Then you turned toward me and put on a smile
Saying all that you dared “what’s up man,
Don’t be blue, I’ll help you if I can”
I looked away, trying not to see
All the caring and love you had for me.
I thought long and hard for what to say.
I was sure that it would take me into the day.
Because whatever I said it had to be clever
But the only word that formed was “never.”
I turned my head to look at your face.
Seeing the tears that formed in your eyes, I fell in disgrace.
I could never speak in a way to make it sound like art
Then the words flowed and came from deep within my heart
“I am sorry to hurt one such as you
But I’m in so much pain deep inside, what else could I do
I realize the error and evil in my ways
I did the wrong and you’re the one that had to pay
I beg your forgiveness and ask you to leave”
Even to this day I still don’t believe
What you said as you stood “I’m sure that you have a plan
And I hope it works, as I said before I’ll help you if a can”
As you left, then also out of my life went the last spark,
So here I sit, hoping, in fear, alone and in the dark
