Alas! as one would say
close as the others would live
neither my lines, nor my cries
would yet be still be lost my creed

torments need not be sang
as per each wouldn't make you
say words i long. die on to live on

its funny in that i know
that no matter how much effort
this pitiful self would have
songs may be enough
may be? very tough

tomorrow marks a day
oh yes, a good Tuesday
i never will give up
never will i retreat
patience so long

for that would come away
i mention my name for the last time
ill say
look at me, at least?

Spare me.
bear with me?
please?
