Return To Me

I tried to change
But I could not be
I tried to see
A different me

I tried to cast
A little spell
I tried to play
On life's sweet quell

But all in vain
I do see now
Was my attempt
I failed somehow

I tried to change
And now I see
Three times what I took
Now comes back to me

And now I'm left here
All alone
Just this freezing flesh
And this broken bone

I don't know what I'll do now
I don't know how I'll feel
Somehow I have to continue
A memory now sealed

These tears are mine
You shall not see
Nor know the three times
Taken away from me...

But I'll always remember
The rule of the three.
Three times what thou givest
Doth return to thee...
