Whenever temptation rears its ugly face

I fight them with every fiber of my soul

it would be so easy to resume the chase

as I wish to do better, live up to my role.

Yet when I see her, she gets into my head

like being struck by powers from high above.

There’s nothing you can do, or to be said

that would cause me to forget my lost love.

I lay awake in thy bed, going over my failure

all those mistakes, each screw up I ever made.

They led to my fall, my disconnection from her

and with this loneliness, my duties are paid.

There’s no guarantee things will improve or be fine

but it never stops me from wishing she were mine.
