a poem that turned into a kind of prayer

If I sink down to the end of this… And my toes touch perditions skin Who will save me as I have saved… Who’s love shall espy and reel me… If I fall down to the bottoms can…
What does that say about me I’d much prefer to see you fail Than to watch you bask in victory What does that say about me When I refuse to assist
Under the blanket of a starless ni… my inane smile just a make-up pain… as I wander down a lane that’s nam… and choke back tears on years gone… I dream a dream of circumstance
