A Failure

A Failure

©2004 by Bud Lemire

I feel a part of me has died

I failed attempts I should have tried

I failed those I loved the most

Unsteady my soul, I am a ghost

Love brought me to the west

I had love that was the best

I failed fully all of life's test

And made of my life, such a mess

I lost the love because of fear

Because of that I'm leaving here

I don't know just where I belong

Only that I must have done wrong

My heart is aching so very much

It hurts so badly, to the touch

I can hardly think of what to do

Of simple things, that I once knew

Oh comfort me and make me whole

The missing pieces of my soul

A failure to those who see

Look inside and see the real me
