9 : 4/19/98 : Small Sad Song

I try not to talk about
myself so much as before
What use are my feelings
to you anymore

But time is a cruel reminder
of everything we fail at
sometimes I find I run out
of wider issues to rail at

Leaving me always me
with my small sad song
Just the night and my thoughts
and I don't have long

To redeem myself
somehow it seems I left myself
somewhere when I wasn't looking
collecting dust on some dark shelf...
