i turned back in the cloudless night

i stood there mum ,  with tears blocking my sight

as i carried with me an unbearable load

all i found was an empty road,

the load of unkept promises it was

of unfinished tasks and an unworthy cause

of the aims that were set but were hardly met

now a barren land holding seeds of regret

in the labarynth of the path that i had taken

i saw those turns where i had forsaken

my goal, through those hasty wrong choices

which had subdued myself and stifled my inner voices

now i stand with repentence filling my eyes

knowing fully well that god didn't play any dice

it was i who knowingly went astray

even when, from the right path i was,

just a step too far, only a moment away.
