Through the Haze

As the fog rolls in and I see the haze,
I fear all that love will forever leave my gaze.
As the world around me starts to cave,
The only thing I can do is crave,
For the power, the calm, the utter bliss,
That I know could only have come from this.
Yet I knew the penalty from the very start,
And ignored it as I did my part.
So now, with my Las breath lacking glee,
All that I ask is that you never become me.
