Now Or Later

Today, tomorrow
Now or later 
I place my misery 
Within your hands 
Your softest palms
The heart of a troubled man
Begins to stand
For those whom know not 
What I go through
Suppressed in thoughts 
Must I show you?
Seems the figure 
You all look to see
I suddenly couldn’t be
Even when faults were wanted
I wouldn’t plea
Shall I rest 
Today, Tomorrow
Now or later
With everything I’m providing you
All in the mist of tragedy
All that is reliable 
Is truth
Peers next to me 
Seem to see 
A short life expectancy
How harsh times better a man
In shackles, in cuffs 
Yet I’ve written this letter in hand
Here I imply 
My suspicions and demands
Who’s to judge me 
For taking a path not often shown
Chances taken and blown
Cold weather wishing 
Next to a fire place all alone
I miss you and there’s nothing wrong
How is one to feel 
When they’re all dried with in a song
