Do you have everything?


Everything

Sometimes I think,
If I'd never had a link,
Or a hope,
I would never have to cope,
With losing it,
At one time, everything fit,
My life and my love,
Seemed to rise above,
Any expectation,
Which I'd share relation,
But now that union is sundered,
And I know I've blundered,
I can't go back,
All I need is what I lack,
I had everything,
Now, nothing.

My broken heart still beats,
My guilty conscience eats,
Away at what is left,
All that was deft,
All that was me,
Died with the key,
That founded the person I was,
The person I was meant to be,

If only I could escape this corpse,
The one that jeers and warps,
My mind,
Forcing thoughts that do not bind,
Me from the reality,
It reminds me of it's formality,
Every second, moment, minute, day,
So that I cannot put the matter at bay,

I once had everything,
Now, I have nothing,
And I don't want anything,
Except what I can no longer have.
