There was only one thought
In his head as he flashed
A determined smile
A lifetime of hurt
He would make it all

Go away

When he grew old and
Had to give up
The things that made him
Feel alive
He was already dead
But the ringing in his ears
And the pain in his soul
Would never, ever

Go away

He couldn’t find a reason
For continuing on
Like this or
Living to die one day
Doesn’t make a difference
Doesn’t make any sense at all
Maybe he’ll find something
To believe in
That will make this
All worthwhile and
Make it all

Go away

Jerry,

This is deep and rather dark. And I like it.
