Once But Not Now

Am I the aberration
Am I the illusion
What went wrong
What happened and when
Is it my misfortune to be aware
Of the end?
Every day I lose more of myself
Forever caught in a void of what might have been

I mourn the possibilities
Every choice that was not made
Every path not taken out of
Fear and pain anxiety.
Indecision my life is wroth with me
And once I thought I had it all
Time came and stole it away from me.

Pain and regret

Once but not now I was strong
Once, but not now I belonged
Once, but not now

Damn the now
Condemn this moment
The cruel blade of awareness
Curse the body that breaks
And the mind that degenerates
The cruel hammer of eternity

To live and lose it all
To rise only to fall
To rise only to fall again

Once I was young and the world had meaning
Once but not now I was strong
Once I was bold full of purpose and feeling
Once, but not now I belonged

I belong to this world
Twas written some time ago
In darkness I writhe
I belonged at one time I looked to the light
In darkness I writhe
I was written into Earth and denied the sky
