I would have you here with me

but for my disgrace

(which no one else seems to see

though it is too plain to my eye)


and yet you are here with me

and my eye dims

as does my sense of disgrace...

it seems I failed no one


but myself...blackened no ideals

but my own expectations...

I did more good than I could realize

and wondered why so many loved me so


I couldn't see any of it until now

because you are here with me....
