Tale of the broken

My longest brokenhearted tale
The overarching story tells
Of a seeker of redemption
Who couldn’t see where he had failed

For years in vain it wandered far
My longest brokenhearted tale
Casting wide its net of dreaming
Drawing in each star of seeming

Though discarded on the pathway
Perhaps it will help another
My longest brokenhearted tale
Maybe father, maybe mother

it’s given all it’s got to give
Rose up each time it’s fallen hard
No end in sight, it must keep on
My longest brokenhearted tale
