Parting

If I can only keep me moving on

From place to place where ever choice directs

I might never end back where I began

New places and new faces don’t suspect

The truth; that I am fleeing from myself

Too scared to hang around or settle down

No fear of being left upon the shelf

If I am moving on from town to town

No matter who I love, it never lasts

I don’t keep friends, it isn’t worth the pain

A kiss upon the cheek, liaison past

Wave me goodbye, ‘cos we won’t meet again

But yet there is a part of me sheds tears

As I flee from the loneliness of years.
