The Other Side of Midnight

I had spent night and day
                                                      Wondering if there was any way
                                                       I could erase my seclusion
                                                       Even though I wanted several 
                                                        I knew I would look an idiot 
                                                      My father had many dreams 
                                                      But he hid them all like creams
                                                      Later in life I often conjectured
                                                            And questioned, 
                                                         My judgment in general, 
                                                   If I had chosen pragmatically
                                      In the end I would not have fallen in to depths of damness
                                          Falling heedless on my knees before love,
                                         I neglected the individual, who truly did,
           	 ………………………………………….
                                                    They say love is blind
                                                        It truly is…
                                                        I conjugated …
                                                      I connubial to a stranger
                                                   Leaving the one I knew behind
                                                                    …………..
                                                The prevalent mistake of my being
                                                       Of my existence
                                                       Of my small eternity
                                                     And I lost my sanity
