Faint Lights

The walls, they close in
with their padding gone hard
the points never scored
always short the last yard
banged up and bruised
with dreams that retard
from where I've always wanted to go
seems there's no escape
trapped in this life
where fortune provides promises
made slack by the knife
that keeps us dangling
to suffer this strife
leaves me looking up from below

Fare thee well
to the happy end
forcing a smile
through the days I pretend
at the mercy to time,which to our life lends
the day's dusk dark slowing closing

But sometimes a window
lights up a door
and we're sat there wondering
what we were worried for
it's people like that
that help us endure
seeing the beauty of being
it's never at all easy
this much is clear
when our minds banter between
encouragement and fear
truth be told,
no day's truly clear
never give up on truly seeing

Don't lose out hope
for the happy end
forcing a smile
through some days I pretend
at the mercy to time,which to our life lends
the day's dusk is dark but light's still seeping
