I’ve gotten to the edge of time
To the point where it all ends
Here, where alone with myself I chatter
Where time is the only comfort and brother
Acquainted with solitude
Denounced by gay companies
Here I am on the edge of time
So before life itself stops leading this conspiracy against meitself stops leading this conspiracy against me
To trade the harm, dishonour and guilts
The dreadful plights, flights and shame
That throughout all seasons
Without tangible reasons
Gullible men out of the conscious and purposeful malice
Throw at me in my guiltless face
Here on the edge of time
I lay buried by my side
All hopes and faith of the better life.
