Pardon me if I leave you
Nothing was less desired by me
Watered eyes are making all
So difficult to see

 

Depression ruled these several years
And made me someone else again
Now with other losses mounting
And my body swamped in pain

 

I question every moment
They ask me to endure
There are many things undone as yet
Of that I'm more than sure

 

To sit and rot with nowt to give
Is that really all that's left to do
One thing I feel still to be said
Is to leave my love for all of you

 

With faltering beats my hearts has now
I wonder when's the last
A moments time, a day, a month
Can my will defeat the past

 

Such turmoil since when we last spoke
Has ground salt into my brain
I know not how to deal with this
Constant erosion you see plain

 

One time I thought my father seemed
To gaze from the glass to me
But who now stoops in the mirror
Is a mystery to me

 

Words remain my last resort
My kingdom which to rule
A talent never earning much though
I've shaped verses since at school

 

Such may soon be lost as well
For my eyes are loathe to see
As invisible thumbs press into them
And impose more agony
