CUT IN THE CIRCLE

My song tonight
croons of surrender
to end the toil
but not embrace defeat
the war in my mind
has taken my muse
and sacrificed it to the cause
just so I would have
this fragile peace
as burning the desire is
to conquer a chamber in your kingdom
I yearn for forgiveness
more than anything
for insisting on knowing you
and asking for too much
you give, for my sake
I know not why, for yours
I can only pray
that when all the dust has settled
and all the woes have gone
I can find you still
although not in the same field
still with a soul to share
and song to sing
