My soul

My soul soared up into the sky, Flashed like a bright star on high. You were never with me, you see, And you never will be, dear, truly. I soared like a cheerful bird, Spreading my wings, just once I stirred. How painful it is to fall and break, But what can I do now, for goodness’ sake? Happiness only smiled at me, Didn’t even beckon, you see. All that’s left is to drink, I fear, Every last drop of my bitter tear. I shone like a star so bright, Waited for happiness all my life, Burned up in an instant, in a blazing fire, Leaving not even a trace, my desire. My soul soared up into the sky, Flashed like a bright star on high. You were never with me, you see, And you never will be, dear, truly.
