Cloak
Alone I sat, alone I watched
Embraced the feeling of life botched
Beyond any hopes of repair
Though lurking, could not find her there.
Alone, contemplated swallow
Purposeless and feeling hollow
Yet still I wait alone, alone
I wait in prostrate, wilt alone
Just this side of my surrender
Lone, alone, without defender
I sense her lurking out of sight
She's stalking through my dreams each night
I wait for her to capsize me
This lonely boat on lonely seas
But come for me she never does
Regret all that I ever was
For she lingers, just to my right
Won't step forward into the light
And I can't walk into the dark
So we circle, and so we spark
I beg her come, she makes me wait
I'm desp'rate, wish life would abate
In depression and in remorse
I feint and feel her alter course
I throw my life upon her scythe
Despair for what would never be,
Upon her blade, this last charade
Played out for all the world to see
Death fin'lly came to comfort me.
