To thwart the inevitable What lies in the failure to succeed Something that like that of ghost A haunting force never to be perceived So, much you try Only to come up short For long you held tight to the fond memories Now blanketed with remorse Whom shall you blame when your Efforts fall in vain Is it a tragic force dwelt within man Turning the hand of fate For so long you have battle against the tide While others float along without a ripple in water You sea lay barren in your own demise Yet try as you might Somehow it never seems to relent The tide never turns in your favor You lay waste in your own lament Yet not by your own folly It seems you are undone For so long you have fought Yet the battle is never won What is this that has laid ruin to mine Taken that which I had coveted That which I admired What is the meaning If in the end it all goes to waste Like a child we are out of the womb Only to meet our inevitable grave
