You Can't Take It With You When You Go

You Can't Take It With You When You Go

I remember no battle yet I seem to have lost the war,
times I swept through the valley, times that I did soar.
What did I so failed to do which caused you to leave my side,
like majestic waves of the oceans carrying out the tide.
Did I not show my love so you felt that you could not stay,
was it that same deep love which simply drove you away.
I am truly uncertain just how all of this has come to be,
now suddenly somehow I find, I am alone with only me.
The memories that do haunt me, my name I hear you call,
hanging there like a whisper like the coat upon the wall.
I will not know your touch nor the heart you gave so free,
it seems that all of this escapes me as this is my destiny.
Though I may never say that we were one and you were mine,
still I give to you my heart now lost in love forever entwined.
Long way back to where I came from unsure that I can even go,
many questions still linger within me of answers I shall never know.
