The Better Way

By Gman

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My soul and heart fight To regain their control Pulling me from the night Trying to keep me whole There is no sanctuary There is no place to hide For it is customary To let one part die Should I choose To have a soul or my heart Should I lose Either one and be torn apart Questions I dare not answer For I fear to enjoy life I'd rather die of cancer Then live without light I roam, in search of truth I crawl back from my past I found my wasted youth And a love that could not last Shall I see a brighter day One without any pain May I live in my own way To find happiness in this rain Do I understand anything at all Am I just walking blind and out of sight Have I missed The final curtain call Am I left damned, to wander in the night I am lost within my mind I've thrown it all away I refuse to find What you call, a better way Written March 23rd, 2002 © on Mar 23 2002 03:28 AM PST   0 • 10
