I'm sitting here, want to cry
asking myself why oh why
I cannot be with the one,
I'll be gone; I'll be gone.

Nine days left that I stay here,
nothing's clear, nothing's clear.

What is right, what is wrong,
just for her, I really long.

I hurt him, should I care?
What is true and what is fair?

Now, I hurt, so does she,
no one's there to care for me.

Got no rights, got no chance,
got no way for an advance;
my hands tied and my soul torn,
sadness builds, anger's born.

To see her, the only place is
in my dreams, for one last kiss.

Under water, I want to sink,
that I no more have to think.

Want to stay, want to escape,
either way it feels like rape;
rape of soul, of wish, of will,
see no light, feel very ill.

Want to live a righteous life,
for what to strive, for what to strive?

Feelings are neither right nor wrong,
I'll be gone; I'll be gone.

Well, I've read this three times, and cannot figure out who has been hurt, or was it actually a threesome? Do work on your rhythm a bit more, too. Hope you don't mind a little critiquing...that's how we all grow. Look forward to reading more.
