Ina
One Time Luck
They say that all who die shall dead remain
But how I should forget the sweetest name?
I prayed to god, yet only demons came
To torment me until I had them slain.
Even now my eyes do shed a salty rain
The grief I bear is one I fail to tame
And yet I cannot hope to do the same
as poets do and thus I must refrain.
And thus must I, a mortal man
Tear out the heart, turn into one
Of which the soul is now torn down.
Lest hope breaks vainly what I can
Still do to make it so that none
Shall have to fall and like me drown.
I hope to get some feedback on this, I'm not especially happy with it but I cannot put down my finger on what is wrong with it. So I bring this to thee, so you can tell me what I can do to improve my poetic attempts.
