You rise to speak
and echo out
these words of hope
but I am lost
in delusion
hung by a rope
These dreams you have
are still held dear
to you in heart
but in drunken fervor
I am inclined
to lose interest in part
The pain your eyes
reveal reduce
me to sobbing
You have spoken
the dreams and hopes
still a throbbing
I did not hear
the shout of night
or your love call
Instead I pour
another drink
and take a fall
The end of day
is dancing thru
clouds of delight
I can not feel
the emotions
you convey tonight
The dance of Gods
is forbidden
and we are just lost
I have fallen
and can’t get up—
that is the cost
