You Lost It All

A sympathetic guilt stricken with grief filled tears

trapped behind eyes controlled by a mind

greater than the earths atmosphere

taken by surprise

given warnings full speed ahead

trouble forgets the golden days

and the turn of events

albeit splendid of a complete haze

a massive fortune living in space

take me now

leave the hopelessness so well

prescribe in unadulterated fashion

cast your mast and leave a magic hell

forge your honesty on a dollar bill

taking every last morsel

besiege the given moments well passed

for days now my ulcer blisters to health

the sickness lingers over me

coupled with timing and the median wealth

not of any maker more of paper trade

I cannot help what I am

maybe only who I become

taketh the wealth

gone again

below time

where nothing stays the same
