All I Have Lost
All I have lost, I cannot find again.
And all I find, I fear I’ll never lose.
I only live for when my life will end.
My soul is filled with words I cannot pen.
My days are spent chasing a wary muse.
All I have lost, I cannot find again.
The shadow lurks and thinks, “Not if, but when?”
A voice and presence I dare not refuse.
I only live for when my life will end.
My mind dwells on all that might once have been-
Love, light and life with the power to choose.
All I have lost, I cannot find again.
What good is life when it is naught but sin?
No need for Hell when I’ve myself accused.
I only live for when my life will end.
My thoughts force down on ice already thin,
No riddance of dead weight will pay my dues.
All I have lost, I cannot find again-
I only live for when my life will end.
