Defeated

Feelings have faded
And ground away
All this time
I've played
Undefined in
Reasoned affair
We who seek
A reason or why
Are returned
Defeated
In time
We that bleed
In reach for the sky
Are interred
To cling for dear life
All this ancient forest
I've a nature to burn
To the flame
All native grounds
That stand defiant
Of what I've become
Belated it seems
All connection
To what I could feel
Being trained
From a boy
Not to suffer
Has raped
All our joy
I am another
Devout deliberator
Indecision is love
Visions of the past
A religion of descent
I'm chanting
All the time
All the time
In turn
Belated it seems
All connection
To what I could feel
Being trained
From a boy
Not to suffer
Has raped
All our joy
