The Last I Will Convey

Two sides within me hunger for my soul

Yet knowing which to call when feeling's nigh

Inhabits me with doubt, I am not whole

Why fight when conflict in my heart does pry

I'll do my best to beat the lesser dead

Or tame them both so I won't go insane

And if the one I nourish in my head

Should balance there the chemicals again

Please give me back the way that I once was

And bring my hope to one day reappear
While granting me the strength I lack because

Within my own undying deepest fear

I am alone with no one there to see
Or save me from the way I go astray
And if I'm meant to fail in the debris
These words may the last I will convey

empirical shadows and beautiful light
