undone
Undone the day to come
I know it all too well
My simple words from meaning often shunned
And future is misspelled
The hope I conjured late at night
Lacks syllabus or rhyme
And all too willingly my plight
Surrendered to its bite
With stretched out arm to feel my way
I walk across the hall
I should not stumble would not sway
But could never reach the wall
Illusion of an empty space
Kept little hope alive
The darkness's hiden any trace
Of a day that came undone
