MY LIFE

Let me see no today

But let tomorrow walk into dreams

And walk out in shame

It will be the same

A shining beacon of hope

Now turning gray

In the shadows of the night

I see no light

Life will not pass me by

I whisper to myself

I know I lie

It is already passing me

And will pass without a hope

A dream

A vain longing

It seems

To me

The horrors thronging

Where none can see

Abandoned vows

Discarded fantasies

Destiny parted

Empty hearted

You laugh with joy

I haven't seen

A laughing moment in all my years

My heart is filled with uncried tears

For what I cannot deem

A cage I fear

A cage of deep

And slow despair

Now it has come

They call me fair

I haven't won

But now I will

My heart fulfill

I go to death

But now there will be

Joy

On my last breath
