» Poem: This was no gift
This was no gift
written by suicide_penguin

By hurried steps the silence disturbed
A man rushes past, he knows not why
Off his hands, he can't shake the dirt
His intentions good then all went awry

Gambled with life, tried cheating to win
Now hurt and betrayed by all his lying
Must stifle the call heard deep within
And then face the pain of slowly dying

Once he was strong, honest and fair
For what has he allowed such a decay?
The light is gone, it's time to despair
For hope is lost, there's a Hell to pay

Wasted a chance - a gift away thrown
And the memories of evil won't fade
With crushed dreams so hard to atone
For sins that while dreaming were made

Colin, all life's desire left in the past
The only hope for the end to be swift
Just one wish for the pain not to last
And one more grudge: "This was no gift!"
