Whenever temptation rears its ugly face

  I fight them with every fiber of my soul

  it would be so easy to resume the chase

  as I wish to do better, live up to my role.

  Yet when I see her, she gets into my head

  like being struck by powers from high above.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  There’s nothing you can do, or to be said

  that would cause me to forget my lost love.

  I lay awake in thy bed, going over my failure

  all those mistakes, each screw up I ever made.

  They led to my fall, my disconnection from her

  and with this loneliness, my duties are paid.

  There’s no guarantee things will improve or be fine

  but it never stops me from wishing she were mine.
