Watch me suffer,
Watch me die,
Live a life,
And love a lie,

For 'twas what
You saw
This last day
That broke the law--

Not of live,
But of love,
As equally beheld
Came that dying

Grace of winter
Surely crying,
For their lost
I'll be frying—

Now, I’m gone
Writing your pain
Breathing dawn
And living in vain

As ‘twas your life
Lived in fear,
Gained nothing
But lost a year

Battling and
Sobbing,
Writhing
And churning,

You’ve wasted
Your time,
Effort and Dime,
Living a lie—

See this Heaven
Or Hell it’s called,
As my soul lifts,
Not sang appalled

But walked in Death…

So does this pain,
Be birthed in rue,
I see no way,

But I have You.
