DESPAIR

Finally, the chance to speak to one of good sense
Oppose me on these grounds, there’s no defense
Even my bride was unmoved by logic, and blind to pure reason
Oh my dead reader, share my outrage for this treason
Couldn’t talk to her let alone debate her
But I sense your agreement with I, your humble narrator

In times of trouble life can trap you in a bind
Keeping one eye to the ground never knowing what you’ll find
From a meager bank note, to a help wanted sign
No discovery could be nearly fortunate as mine
Even I considered, maybe an illusion, some image that was conjured by drink
But being of sound mind, examined closer, beginning to think







Don’t call him doppelganger and he’s not my evil twin
Possibly we’re not even two different men
Not sure where he ends or where I begin
Only explanation I was born again

Didn’t have to search nor scour the earth
walked past and knew separated at birth
Surely must have met inside of the womb
For one of us it’s after-life the other gets doom

Don’t call him doppelganger and he’s not my evil twin
One life between two identical men
That one of us must parish justifiable and fair
For the greater good alleviate despair
alleviate despair



Most minute detail had to be right
Training sessions last late into the night
Which hand do we use, the left one or the right?
Check discrepancies in the way that we write
Absinth at my side, ‘til I shyly confide
You share all of my secrets, there is nothing to hide
With words I reveal saw his eyes open wide
Eyes same as mine, my reflection inside
Ask our similarities, too many to list
Can’t find differences right down to our fists
Bless the day I found him been inseparable since
Touch him and I’ll kill you it’d be self defense
Then came the day
Time to take him out and put him on display
From the corner spot
to the place down the way
Only imagine what people will say
And the best part is he seems to obey
Looks like he’s come and be here to stay
Open up the game, finally get a chance to play
One day we’re chatting here over a beer
At the next moment I’m gone disappear
But right now, I look in the mirror
Depth of performance remarkable site for one to behold
Make it so convincing almost have myself sold
Seemed a fantasy all that time before he
Came to complete my masterpiece story
But perfection of the process makes it easier to lie
The best day of my life will be the I die
Death is not a window, for some it’s a door
Yet in my case exit leads to so much more
Pure freedom is escaping those who sought to hold me down
Only way out of this god damn town
My plan so ingenious that it seems almost unfair
Reward for past transgression and payback for despair
if regret starts to show ask forgiveness to him
Brzy Nashkladno and dequim




Don’t call him doppelganger and he’s not my evil twin
possibly we’re not even two different men
Not sure where he ends or where I begin
Only explanation I was born again

Didn’t have to search nor scour the earth
Simply walked up him separated at birth
Surely must have met inside of the womb
For one of us it’s after-life the other gets doom

Don’t call him doppelganger and he’s not my evil twin
One life between two identical men
That one of us must parish justifiable and fair
For the greater good alleviate despair



my tale winds down, beg you see any crime
embellishment splashed- alliteration and rhyme
unsurprisingly, I suppose, an appropriate time
Authorities gather round the outside of this barn
reputation proceeding me, I tell a good yarn
Didn’t shy away from destiny I’m too bold to hide
Make my final stand on the French countryside
Listen dear reader having followed me through this
Masterful tale
When the going gets tough, counting on you not to bail
Attracted your attention and my pages held your stares
Whose version to believe? cuz it’s my word ‘gainst theirs

My word ‘gainst theirs just a tale of despair

Hand on the bible true tale of despair

If he were here, he’d say the same: just a tale of despair
