I’ve felt the hope, within a potent excuse

I’ve sealed my fate with an abstract noose

Hanging on by a fluid thread

Leaving reason behind, left for dead

 

No longer captive to my mind’s dissent

Breaking free for a taste of what I’ve dreamt

A foolish endeavor with no end in sight

A broken heart and repeating plight

 

I’ll self inflict these mortal wounds

Sealing Love into empty tombs

But once more, as always with the abuse

For I’ve felt hope, within a potent excuse
