Night table


On my night table, there is a ring
That was supposed to join forever
A thrown bracelet will ting
A necklace that may sever


On my pillow there rest my dreams
That meant to finally come true
A specked window pane seems
To shadow what is right due

I watch but I can't see
I know but can't take in
Have name, but no ID
Have conquered, but never win

I should have done so many things so far
I could have gone around  the world
I needn't have spent my youth in a bar
I must have been stone cold


I pick my plastic pride from the pocket
And get some happiness instead
But there's that notion, seems to rocket
If you sow nothing, what can you get
