I close my eyes
And think I see
Into the very
Deepest heart of me.
I feel my faults.
They're on display.
I can't escape them.
They are here to stay.
I hear my heart.
Skip out of tune.
I came too quickly
And I left too soon.
I smell my fear.
I know I'll lose.
My death won't make
Anybody's news.
I taste nothing
Bitter or sweet.
It's just the blandness
Of utter defeat.
