A Brilliant Ally

Blacklisted incidentally.
Did I choose it or it chose me?
Did I force your hand with my inquiry?
Are you ever going to talk to me?

No one offers evidence,
No one suspects innocence.

You don't reply conveniently,
I thought I acted admirably.
I admit my mistake,
But I was never on the take.

I know where my sympathies lie.
I know where my sympathy lies.
Buried half-alive in shallow graves,
restless hungry for the light you gave.
And stole away.

(missing verse)

I guess this is my reward,
that we can't reach some accord.

I know where my sympathies lie.
I know where my sympathy lies.
