To Remember

To remember my sanity

my love so naive.

Now, here I am

soulless.

There is pain in my gut.

A daily reminder

of the exchange in my life.

The success that I yearned

since I was a little boy.

The tears I dropped

to soar for my goals.

Now I cough up blood

and I smile at the irony

of my relentless love.

I am blind

and a stubborn man;

but, here still lays

the dream that I prayed.

Do I break the chains of fear?

Do I continue my monotone life

until the grim ripper gets near?
