Listen

Listen to them, for I am as they say
I want to be forgotten with nothing coming my way

My world has left me, therefore I cannot go on
I want true happiness but it is now gone

Victory against this war I will have
But my spirit will be forever in halve

Nothing to change what I have become
My soul now empty, my heart is so numb

I give you great credit for the rhymes: "half and halve." I NEVER would have thought of that. I wish I did. This is moody and introspective, but it conveys it's emotions well. Thank you for your kindness regarding my little poems. I do appreciate it! Regards, GK
