Almost Gone

You know what has to be done.
You know the battle can not be won.
Both are to stubborn to agree.
So lonely and miserable is how it will be.
Can not get the courage to do what is right.
Too tired and wounded to win the fight.
Can not go on this way much longer.
Have to find a way to get much stronger.
I have to find a way to make him see,
If we keep going down this path, six feet under I will be.
