Tides of humanity

People come and people go

Sadness dwells and happiness furloughs

Things suddenly cease to last;

Life changes around us fast

             People come and people go

 

Days spent safe in lovers’ arms

Laughing at playful wit and charm

Giving way to lonesome nights

Harsh words and lasting fights,

People come and people go

 

Difficult days grow into quiet weeks

No more tears on pretty cheeks,

Feigning wordless strangers once more

Passing each other with eyes to the floor,

               Because people come and people go
