No Pachelbel's Canon

I never walked down that aisle

I've been alone for awhile

It's not what I anticipated in my youth

But now as the sun begins to set it is my truth

I often get asked why

By those who succeeded and those who tried

I don't have an easy answer

The one I lived through had cancer

I see my mom in a room with her books, music, coffee and cat

And I guess for me that was a life that seemed where it's at

Yes there is a heavy price to pay

But it's my only way

There is loneliness and emptiness sometimes I won't lie

And at times like these I may even breakdown and cry

But some of us may be better off walking alone

And let their hearts forever roam

Until that final resting place
