...Spent
By SolApathy
In the moment of a second, unseen
I feel I have missed a lifetime living within this dream
Squandered away my lonely days
For the dreams of a phantom love that never sways
But as I awake, she never stays
Bitter in the moments I cannot dream
A wreck of a man that rises only to fail
Burdened knowing this ship will never, sail
No longer content, he relents
His soul, clearly…Spent

Burdened knowing this ship will never, sail
No longer content, he relents
His soul, clearly…Spent
