Ani Chai

Has this curse tied me to pieces
To wallow in vermin feces
The tribulations seem pointless
Empty retribution for the voiceless
Screams so deafening in vain
Pebbles cry out in empathetic pain
Darkness nipping at our heels
Denied appeals
Convicted unjustly, truth reveals
Imprisoned, seeking swift release
Hope at the end, to find peace
This ache is boiling
Amidst mundane toiling
And it is you that I've found
Yet still you run, my heart in to the ground
Given a fighting chance
Come, take my hand to advance
You, and I...Achat
Ahavah Olam
Let us rise above
All that we are sick of
Look in to my eyes
Can you not realize?!
Ani Ohevet Otcha
But should I walk away?
Let you be with nothing to say
Stop in my tracks
And face the facts
Within the maelstrom to fall
Before a relentless council call
Only to find I must say
I tried, failed, you walked away
Ani Tzarich Lalechet Achshav
Until there comes a better day
