DESPERATION

(T. Beechey)



What can I give that I've already gave?

I've nothing to save for even my own

Had I known you desired,I'd have more

But I can't ignore I'm now time's slave



All is decided without my consent

Everything that I meant means nothing at all

Should I stumble and fall,I'm left to lie

Till someone comes by,as there's no one to call



I'm alone and opposed by whatever chooses

The bruises within shall never heal

This can't be real but,alas,it's true

What must I do to break the seal?



My heart is broken,my spirit shattered

I'm battered and weary,perhaps they are right

The fight is undeniably one-sided

So I've decided to turn out the light



Watch as it flickers,ever so slowly

Down to a lowly glimmer that's grayed

Till the shades aren't needed to hide the brightness

Cause the night has prevailed...see it fade
