Died for Nothing
I don't blame you,
my life is messed up.
I let it be.

I killed myself for nothing.

For my future,
bright from the morning,
I ate up in needless tears those mornings.
Dead my hopes in my mournings.

The me that would have been,
I threw in the bin.

The times I had I worried away.
Scared the opportunities that came.
Severed my ties with the good days.
In my head, relived sad days,
Over and over again.

The people God sent I sent away.
Now I wonder what is the gain.
Of all the worry and the sorry I felt.

This me you don't deserve to have.
A being not complete, a man in half.
I took my leave of no return,
from the troubles that beset me,
I desperately want to heal.

Where is my savior when I need him.
She left me old in my grey.
For lost course I prayed hard.
The harder it gets,
I lose steam.
My future screams,
present me grims
from what I have seen.

The now that clouds tomorrow,
the beds of sorrow.
........

to be contd
