Sonnet X - And so he withered…

May our dead dreams rise again...

He lay upon my bed so sick and pale

Bemoaning all his life of dashing hopes

I try to mend his wounds for no avail

In his last breath, he surrenders and mopes

 

‘As I submit my soul, please forgive me!

For all the bitter blood and sweet you shed

On dim, drab road of life and agony

Please forgive me! Here on my dying bed’

 

‘Please be at ease! We have done our best

In this grim world, we fought so viciously

But this is our fate, so lay and rest

No man can ever change his destiny’

 

And so he withered, my redemption beam

My once upon a time aspirant dream
