I Cant Leave Myself In Want

Andrew Davis

I can’t leave myself in want
Desire is just too strong
Lifts me petty
Stirs my wrong
My eyes wake to greet
Hands fear they can see
What i made them do
In the dark
Regret hangs heavy
And grief is my whole back
The lengthy shadow
Evil in me
Ruled by base
Inside a need.
