Let me be

let me not be first choice, first thought
let me be a mere after thought
to keep me real, for real ~~bina

let me be

 

let me be
that after thought
lying deep

 

let me be
that canker
robbing peace

 

let me be
that rankle
scratching feel

 

let me be
that niggle
toppling keel

 

let me be
that lump
blocking throat

 

let me be
that phantom throb
in wound old

 

let me be
that irritation
annoying memory

 

let me be
that suffuse
permeating skin

 

let me that
that ray of light
in loss of memory

 

let me be
that sure harbor
in betrayal seas

 

let me be
that sole thought
in final sleep
