Relief

Here I sit 
In a fixed position
I once stood 
Held your hand 
And did all that I could 
All that you would allow
Yet some how
Still you managed 
To take a final bow
And though these days
May not look to receive me 
Tell me why
Your god seems not to love me 
In search for someone else 
To think better of me 
In my worst ways 
This letter scrubs my pain
Who’s there to love me 
In these latter days 
Of fallen reign 

Days don’t comfort 
These years they seldom hurt me
I’m lost within my burdened worth, see
Life just does not love me

Amongst this discussion
My panel be 
Realistically 
In this world 
With no family 
Each day that passes 
A new dawn to handle ease 
Touch this phantom, please 
The same given hand 
That once took 
A coward from his knees 
I was there for you
Why are you not here for me 
Visions 
Further than any one spectator seas
I am as withered as dry leaves 
On fallen eves
The weight on your shoulders 
Equals the tears amongst your sleeves 

Days don’t comfort 
These years they seldom hurt me
I’m lost within my burdened worth, see
Life just does not love me
