where the road went wrong

we don't expect to fall in an abyss
the worst effects of change hit us so hard
we are not tempted when we know we miss

the worst that happens we think is a hiss
some sort of answer that we could discard
we don't expect to fall in an abyss

the journey we take should not end like this
in a sad place from which justice is barred
we are not tempted when we know we miss

we had thought matters were not quite amiss
but at the start all had been fully marred
we don't expect to fall in an abyss

the ending should have been in joy and bliss
instead we have only a jagged shard
we are not tempted when we know we miss

our full reward is just the traitor's kiss
and loss of all your honour and regard
we don't expect to fall in an abyss
we are not tempted when we know we miss
