Free Cee I Move My Pawn At Dawn

I MOVE MY PAWN AT DAWN My life has always been only fifty percent And no one ever knew just what I meant My life’s been half of what it could have been As I’ve spoken of arrogance, selfishness and sin They spoke of righteousness as if it were their friend But for me friendships all too fleetingly end Ashes left to the left and to the right of me And scenes of sorrow is all that are in sight for me I’ve made it through the cruelest kind of weather And somehow held it all together I’ve spoken like a lover with a broken heart And still speak of the pretty who was moved to part And parted did she all too soon On the darkest night after the brightest afternoon I heard her farewell far too well And live a tale of torture too great to tell My life was fifty percent of what it might have been As each twilight commands the dark of night to begin I’ve always been fifty percent at dusk or at dawn Yet I am a hundred percent of persistent pain’s pitiful pawn © 2009…..free cee!
