That one decision and a destiny so agonised
The consequences of which I never realised;
Of foolish passions and a foolish pride
Brought me only a ruined stride
That ruined stride, the fate of my life
Turned out to be the burden of my life
Alas! I tried to make it strong
With foolish hopes of love and compromise
Knowing not that it will bring only despise
And now the entire collage of love and compromise which I once so proudly built
Is but a guilt that will always be expected to realise
And will i be only a slave to it?
Is the only question that will remain alive
