Ozymandias

"Ozymandias" () is a sonnet written by the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). It was first published in the 11 January 1818 issue of The Examiner of London. The poem was included the following year in Shelley's collection Rosalind and Helen, A Modern Eclogue; with Other Poems, and in a posthumous compilation of his poems published in 1826.Shelley wrote the poem in friendly competition with his friend and fellow poet Horace Smith (1779–1849), who also wrote a sonnet on the same topic with the same title. The poem explores the fate of history and the ravages of time: even the greatest men and the empires they forge are impermanent, their legacies fated to decay into oblivion. more »

Didn't wanna let you go
Water welled, but it didn't show
You came to life, I stole the glow
Serves me right, I'm
On my own
On my own
Now there's a hole
Down below
Callin' out
To a world so cold
Nobody there
To take you home
Yesterday's sun shine
Today a bitter groan
It serves me right, I'm
On my own
On my own
And my soul
Has paid the toll
In the dead of night
I weep and moan
It'll never be right
I'll never be whole
The angels sigh
From a heavenly throne
I can't hide, I'm
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Serves me right, I'm
On my own
