Passion Lost


I have given up… at least I think so,
My passion has finally died.
I have fought so hard to live this life,
Raging embers… deep inside.
But now I feel at ease, no longer care.
I accept all that I am.
And those far off lands that I'll never see,
Will change nothing for this old man.
My fate is near but I feel no fear,
Just a sadness for all that I'll miss.
My children sweet… made all complete,
If only for one more last kiss.
I will accept my fate… but would much sooner wait,
Only the fire is dieing inside.
Passion is to me… the will too be,
What ever I may decide.
