I've had the worst
of both your worlds.
Is there a third
that will unfurl?
Hands drowned in blood;
Broken glass eyes;
What did I do?
What did I prove?
My shallow heart
drowns in my tears.
Floodgates open
my world of fears!
A prediction
An addiction
A conviction
An affliction
A broken crutch;
A mishandled clutch;
What did I do?
What did I prove?
