Go Ahead

I sought a place to rest my head
An angel's lap to be my bed
The answer to an earnest prayer
That while in slumber lying there
She would take my every care
As if they were unread

All that mattered could not hide
Though buried very deep inside
Oh to wake without a thought
And I could whisper "I forgot"
Reach to find but I could not
No matter how I tried

And I would rise, to seek once more
Something that was lost before
She whispered to me, go ahead
But how I longed to stay instead!
The path that I had learned to tread
I knew not anymore

And so I traveled down the road
Now walking with a lighter load
I had not put much thought into
I did not know, did not construe
Was not just sadness she withdrew
Of which was not forebode

Oh, that I had thought of this!
Amidst the sadness was the bliss
As happiness had lost it's place
No longer could my heart embrace
As it had also been erased
And that's what I shall miss

Go Ahead
