Once I Was Everything
once i was a contender
riding rough shed over feelings and sighs
i had a yearning light
my lambast kisses unmerited
I would unsmile
Brunettes took their vows
weeping away their beauty when I rode
once I was a lover, and they came to bed
Once I was a clown
breaking the silence of the night
i shone the correct anger
between sharp lyric
and loneliness
The Angels called on me
despite being alive
