The Life I Lived
May 7, 2012
As I sit to think
A tear welled up in my eye
I wonder why, what have I done?
I have read the stories and hoped
And wished
And dreamed
And believed, until it was there
It happened so fast
So quickly, not long enough
to look twice
And it was gone
I, just a pawn
In this game
A game of nothing
But searing pain
The tears did not help
They threw my aching soul
Into agony
I felt the pain, the filth
That now surrounded
my broken
body and mind
Why did I do it?
Why was I so rash?
To play this game of love
That would never last
