One In A Million

Missed my one in a million chance,
To love life and dance,
Lost in sadness of opportunity missed,
Cheeks glisten from salty mist.

Trying to recreate the wheel,
Anything to make life more real,
Trying to love the life that's there,
Finding that I don't really care.

Living somebody else's something special,
Is this life meant for me?
Drawing my thoughts in charcoal pencil,
What words will you see?
A silent brushstroke,
Made on the canvas of life,
Painting in the proof,
Crimson red on the knife,
The art that killed,
That brought man to his knees,
Where the man cries,
And now where he pleads,
"Let me have that memory,
Please lord bring it back,
It was a one in a million,
Can you not see that?"
