Overruled

He sat alone in his room,
With no idea what to do,
He looked everywhere for a clue,
Wanting only to get to you,
He wished again to hold
What was once untold,
That thought is now bold,
Old feelings are now cold,
He tried to find
Peace of mind,
But time can’t rewind,
It is always blind,
What once was whole
Is now a broken soul,
Black as coal,
An unpayable toll,
His head spins day and night,
His breathing becomes shallow and tight,
He searches always for the revealing light,
He finds always only a lack of fight…

A look inside reveals a truth that doesn’t suffice…
His desire is overruled by cowardice…


(Overruled is the original poetic version of the song Sat Alone)

Sat Alone

Sat alone in his room,
With no idea what to do,
Looking everywhere for a clue…

Outside and in, he’s always looking for you…

Wishing to hold
What was once untold,
That's a thought that is now bold…

Old feelings are now oh so cold…

Trying to find
Peace of mind,
Time can’t rewind…

It remains forever blind…

What once was whole
Is now a broken soul,
Black as coal…

Losing all control…

Head spinning day and night,
Breathing becomes constricted and tight,
Searching always for the revealing light…

Finding only his own lack of fight…

He’s failed at love thrice,
His heart can’t suffice,
He blames it on the roll of life’s dice…

Overlooking his emotional cowardice…

(this is a song I wrote around this time and it's stereotypical in all its connotations - yet, I like how the song sounds; the lyrics were adapted from my poem Overruled).
