The One Thing I Know

I've held myself

To standards too high

I've cried lion

To what was a fly

I've broken my back

To notice my twin

All to appease

My next of kin

My knowledge distorted

And fading away

I do not know

When is night and/or day

I know of one light

Which I've lost

I ignorantly traded

For a deceiving cost

Everything I now have

I would give away

Only to get a fraction back

Of what my twin stole that day

While my thoughts mix

And confuse me still

I long for that one light

And detest my empty will
