DIRGE

your life is a song
mine is a dirge
everyone happy and gay
i'm forever set apart cursed
when did i make that turn
the wrong fork in the road
now the path has disappeared
stumbling blindly frantic
unable to find my way back
thr musics dying
the last chords fading
silence engulfs me
too tired to carry on
dragged forward inexplicably
unable to bow out
the gods know i've tried
why does the body live
when the spirit has died
