A close family member died this week,

It’s hard to believe that they’re gone.

And when I look outside my window,

I can plainly see, that everyone else’s life gets to go on.

Each falling raindrop is a dream,

A hope, a wish I once had.

They shatter into pieces,

As they strike the ground.

To be slowly washed away.

I know the darkness, the terror, the pain,

Of being completely and utterly alone.

Yes, I have danced with the Devil beneath the pale moonlight,

But I have yet to let him take me home.

The tired old man wishes he was dead,

And tried to put a bullet through his head.

He missed, but before you begin to gloat,

That .454 went straight through his throat.

This Life is hard and I’m so weary,

Don’t want to play this game any more.

Darkness will likely win this battle,

And I am very close to losing the war.

Usually I’m happy,

But sometimes I am blue.

Whenever that condition happens,

It’s time for a new tattoo.

Most times, my soul is empty,

Aimlessly drifting, nothing I can do.

I’ve lost my spark, my light, my mojo,

I’ve lost my “Chugga-chugga Woo-Woo!”

I cannot wait,

To crawl into my bed.

And hopefully sleep,

The sleep of the dead.

Not sleep like a baby,

Who whines, wets and cries.

But instead like a corpse,

Who cannot open its eyes.

A sleep deep and dark,

Uninterrupted by dreams.

Where hours pass in a moment,

At least so it seems.

Beaten and bloodied by the day,

My soul torn asunder.

Please tuck me in deep,

Preferably six feet under.

Life is naught but existential angst,

Is there purpose, how could there be?

Sammy leaps on my belly, boops my nose,

Saying, “You’re here to take care of me.”

Give me a million dollars,

And I will go away.

Give me a million dollars,

And away from here I’ll stay.

Cuz I’m so very very tired,

Don’t want to work no more.

Give me a million dollars,

And watch me walk right out that door.

No more working for a boss,

Who doesn’t really care

If I live or die,

As long as he gets his share,

Of that money he makes off my back,

I’m working like a dog.

Give me that million dollars,

And get me out this fog.

If I had a million dollars,

I’d buy myself a car.

Don’t know where I’d go,

But I’d drive so very far

Away from here,

You won’t see me round no more.
