No True Victory

Sun went down

Too slow tonight

To let the moon shine in

Still

I walked

On

All throughout the night

And I

Will hold

This blinding light as it glows

But if it fades

And retreats

Can I beat my greatest enemy

Once

I found

What

It was

I was looking

For

I swore

To

Never let it go and

In this moment

I felt relief

But knew it wouldn't last

Fell victim to

Signs of grief

As the moment passed

And so

Unfolds

It's been hiding all along

In a place

Unseen

On a road that leads to no true victory

So I

Will go

Down this winding road alone

And I will take

With me

Nothing but my broken memory

Words unspoke

I silently made it through the night alone

My fate unknown

Bonds unbroke

Slipping into distant misery

And left to fight it on my own
