The darkness flees into the night
The hunger gladly chases light
The fear indulges in the fight
I cant get it right
The desperate often come out sore
The lover always asking more
The silent child always cries
But i can't scarecly get it right
The ache can dull the greater pain
The solitude can mend or maim
The whisper can confuse the lie
Still i won't get it right
The honesty set on the shelf
The past begrudging future help
The day breaks naught but for itself
So i must get it right
The Once and Future comes no more
The Poet taken for a bore
The story none have heard before
Once I get it right
