Contrite

I come to know this mad ego
That wants to show a certain glow


I come to see that lame fancy
That wants to be mad vanity.


I come to feel a bitter deal
That wants to thrill a sad reveal.


I come to pine for fruity vine
That wants to brine a dreadful line.


I come to keep a troubling sleep
That makes me weep a pain most deep.


I come to nudge a frightful touch
That spreads too much a loss as such.


I come to pay a bitter sway
That floods each day with surreal stay.


I come to share a hollow stare
That provokes care in broken wares.


I come to sight a simple flight
That sheds some light as weakness fights.
