When I see you Once more...

#15 of Poetry, both old and new

A poem I wrote describing my depression. A year ago I caught a case for attempting to steal from a car, and pulling a gun on someone. Yeah... even I make serious mistakes. But the aggravated assault charge is going to be dropped, and I'll likely serve probation for attempted robbery of a motor vehicle. Thankfully it's a misdemeanor, and not the felony they wanted to charge me with... I wrote this one the day before court on March 20th. My last court date is next month on May 8th. Wish me luck and forgiveness... that's all I have the right to ask.

There's an ocean,

Underneath me,

And a thought that

Can defeat me,

O, I'll cry,

When I see you

Once more...

There's a name,

I'm so ashamed,

I can't make it,

I'm to blame.

O, I'll cry

When I see you

Once more...

All the things

That I've done,

There's no battles

That I've won,

O, I'll cry

When I see you

Once more...

Inside I'm still dying,

Outside, I'm

Still trying,

There's no one

To hold open doors!

No lying , I'm crying,

My blood

Won't hit the floor;

But I'll cry,

When I see you

Once more...

I've got friends,

Til the end,

But no moments

I can rend,

There's nothing

But something

I adore!

Such a moment

Just a moment,

My atonement,

I abhor,

But I'll cry

When I see you

Once more!
