Acceptance of fate

Is it wrong to give up hope

at this stage of my life

that I'll finding enduring happiness

instead of naught but strife

 

The only things I have to go on

are the moments in my past

that at once were pure heaven

but never seem to last

 

The aftermath is always greater

than the sum of treasures lost

thats why my books will never balance

and why I'm left to count the cost

 

So if I accept a future

in which my life I'll never share

The only dream I ever had

will wither without air

 

But no more will I feel this pain

this agonizing loss

the books will one day balance out

no more credits, no more cost
