So you think it's worth a try?
You think I might survive
another journey into happy land?
Well I'm not sure
I want to go through
that again,
the pain
of losing it
I mean
The pain of
knowing it was going
and facing the finality
again.
You think it's worth a try?
I can't be sure.
If only you could tell me
it would stay
this time.
I know you can't
and so I think
I'll just remain the way
I am.
Miserably sowered.
Not a happy hero
but a cold,
contented coward.
