I live alone in a world full of people
And to some I am a stranger
Or maybe an old friend who was just a singer
Singing songs of solace
I have nor son’s to shoot gun’s
When I’m gone
Nor wife to grieve for me
Nor daughters to cry for their dead father
Only mother and my six siblings who’ll cry for me
Every night brings me the grief
Sadness returns and I’m passive
Though the walls are closing around me
And my mother grows old thinking about me
And seeing so much sadness in her living
Makes me lost in poetry like a husband to a wife
And once again it doesn’t feel like the rain has stopped
But I a lonely writer
Waiting for someone to come for me
And silence my dying heart
Love a woman without dying for love
Leave a son or daughter to remember my grace and grave.
