Resignation

Regrettably I must inform you

I cannot go on

My faculties are scrambled

my mind is far and wan

My fantasies are blending

into my conscious brain

When focus is penultimate

my mind is still free range

So I must keep my distance

and drive you from my thoughts

Before you there were thoughts

too precious to be bought

So please be gone temptation

I have a life to live

One that couldn’t e’er progress

with what I’ve left to give
