 Penciled Thoughts

Lost causes


What tramples down my joy
What takes away my love?
Is it a noise from below?
Or singing from above?

Not all is what it seems
Flat broke and out of cash.
Things from along ago
Coming up out of the past.

I can't look at the real me
Because the pain is great.
Things keep flowing past
None of it can wait.

So I'll just sit and cry
At what you came to be.
Yet I'm trapped in your love
And struggle to break free.

But I am just a fool
To think I have a chance.
When my tree has died
Broken every branch.

I lie upon the ground
Staring up into the sky.
Holding my bloody head
Slowly I fade and die.
