As He Lays In His Despair

He lays there now body tired and heart broken
The Zahra is gone and so is the last token

His cards turned and fortune read
He still didn’t listen to what they said

Foolish thoughts and hopeful dreams were spoken
Followed by let down and soul split wide open

What were those two kids actually thinking
That they could save each other while both still sinking

Tears shed, empty and lonely
He feels like it was all a phony

He sits and stares at the walls around
Comes to term with nightmare he’s found

He closes his eyes and can’t stop blinking
Afraid to from all the blinding thinking

He wants her heart to mend and hopes it thrives
He just didn’t know it would at his own demise

Time will tell if he’ll ever love again
The problem lies with where to begin

He prays for blessings on her to bestow
As he falls to his knees and his head hangs low

Lord let her know I truly loved her indeed
And I’m so sorry I wasn’t of what she was in need.
