 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759
All I have left is my name


Pre-empted in all that I try for
Defeated in every game.
Lost in a world full of numbers…
All I have left is my name.
My life just a life full of chances
Once taken always too fail.
Love just another lost token…
Always missing the boat when it sails.
I have tried and cried as any other
The ferryman has been paid every time.
Why am I always just yearning…?
To have that one thing that is mine.
Now alone the night time holds darkness
Darkness that hides all my shame.
I will never be one of their numbers…
But always I'll have my own name.
