I became victim to words unmeant
Hollow expressions, carelessly spent
From supple lips, like hard cement
That smashed and marred without relent
They danced about my heart and went
Into the air, a quick ascent
In days, and weeks, and months far spent
Did I become victim to words unmeant
I became victim of deeds undone
Indeed I am my father’s son
Within my mind, these notions run
Forced to reckon every one
The prize I sought, apathy won
As I lay watching the midnight sun
Wrapped in the tangled web I spun
Did I become victim of deeds undone
but…
Woe to me, should my soul prevail!
