SCAPEGOAT

My best is meaningless
My right is wrong
To hold on,there's nothing left
No reason to be strong

In weakness my strength's hidden
Loving you,my heinous crime
Doomed to a lonely destiny
To serve for an endless time

Desperately dodging despair
A soul to bond with I quest
But never will I see the daylight of care
A pest I'll be at best

Down to earth I descend
Forsake pride to prove a point
Judge me not with contempt my friend
I speak not from my loins

Bliss is the picture of the future I see
Yet in my tears I drown today
For not being able to get through to thee
In endless gloom I stay

My day is but a dark night
My hope,a fading dream
My love a casualty of devilment
My wooing a noisy scream

Pearls expressed in letters
Read and torn in shreds
Like heaven and earth,never can we be together
Yet,can't get you out of my head

Tonight I shed my last tear
Knowing fully well the source of my agony
The deal,the plot is clear
I'll let you get rid of me permanently

My love you will comprehend
When it is all but gone
My dew is due to vaporize
And vanish into the sun

Love,honor and blood
So much I've given for nothing
Paid in full without refund
And left behind a black cotton

The deal is sealed in secrecy
Me,the obstacle to break
Will there be a single breath left in me
At dawn when I wake

The heavens will open
For me,when I ascend
And tales of my story will be told
Going from end to end

I've done my best and given my all
Teardrops as I eavesdrop on her plot
To place me on a slippery floor and watch me fall
And then abscond with her cohort

Too deep in love to fight back
I leave my fate to love
As the plan enters its final lap
I dare not nip in the bud

Same scorn,hate and loveless gaze
Meet my warm,lovely stare
Helplessly I proceed like a lamb about to be slain
For the one she truly prefers

I'm on a tight rope
I'm the scapegoat
The noose is around my neck
I'm counting every breathe

My love you will comprehend
When it is all but gone
My dew is due to vaporize
And vanish into the sun
