Achill Ladd - A Lost Friend.

I'm walking down this sad, sad path,
The saddest road of all.
I'm walking into nowhere
As darkness starts to fall.
My footsteps are now heavier,
My head is bending low.
I must go on, I can't go back,
I'm leaving all I know.
Don't know where this road will lead me.
Don't know where this road will end.
My empire's crumbling at my feet,
Of this I don't pretend.
Yesterday I was so happy,
My life was full with cheer.
But happiness soon melts away
When you lose a friend so dear.
I face the future, now, alone.
With tears washing ashen cheek.
On, on I go in silent prayer,
Though prospects rather bleak.
Don't know how many miles I'd travelled,
When a silhouette did my heart enrich.
For limping along to greet me
Was my best friend.
My little bitch.

Achill Ladd
