The Lucky One

Location

Justify your words with lies told through the years

Tell me it’s not your fault you hide from your fears

You say it’s just a fact of life that nothing can be done

But evil doesn’t flee from life with the rising of the sun 

 

Truth in time you will tell

Morals risen by a bell

And at last you may confess

Or more likely you’ll revert to less

 

This fault I cannot claim

It is yours by more than name

So as you weep and as you cry

No sympathy will you ever pry

 

That is your problem, this is your plight

So you fade to the darkest night

Where the wolf cries outside his den

Abandoning you to the thoughts within

 

I know that I ought to care,

I ought to want you safely there

But after all is said and done

You will be the lonely one

 

You will be all melancholy

And contemplate your hearts past folly

Of days not all that long ago

Perpetuated by sun and lacking snow

 

Days when I knew who you were

Now I can only try to infer

So here I leave my closing remark,

see my heart is not yet tainted dark:

 

I wish that you have all the best

That you shall pass the coming test

And I know that you will at last receive

What you have worked so hard to achieve

 

My hands are clean no more to ask

Finished of this grueling task

And since it all is said and done

I sleep well…cause I’m the Lucky One.
