you fail on me again
now I fear releasing the trigger
everything framed is lost
dissolved imprints in my feeble mind
realise I’m never meant to own it
eludes me - concealed even in negative
i’m out of breath for this
an undocumented disappointment
i relent and can never contend
be myself and hope it’s enough
all that I have to offer
that I’m etched in your cold steel heart
whatever I’ve been and done will never fulfil
i relent and can never contend
with number one
Always,
The Nth place
