The Passage

This is the journal of a troubled man
Remember these words
For they were once yours
In time, in lust 
Deathly you bond 

These were the thoughts 
Of a burdened individual
Never forget them
When you marry
When your last name 
Is the only treasure
Your children carry

Keep yourself
And those around you well
Accept the neighboring warmth
For loving the abstract
Is a homeless mans only jewels
Within my journal
Remains the vacancy
That filled my thoughts 

This is eternal, my journal
