Wasted
time
An old man unlucky and alone,
Feels he’s wasted his life away.
Nothing to show for his time,
No child to care for
And none to care back.
No prayer
Ever reached the stars,
Only one
Tear touched the ground.
Frail the body now that dreamed,
Of something full, more than this
It’s a life packed full of regret,
A life still so empty
Submerged in memory
No prayer
Ever reached the stars,
Only one
Tear touched the ground.
The man who gambled his years away
Left with nothing
A cold encasement and stone awaits
No eulogy
And no second chance
No prayer
A wish too much
Only one
A dream too little
Looking in the mirror…
(No prayer…)
Realizing he’s not who he thinks…
(Only one…)
The truths bolder on the outside…
(No prayer…)
Left to die away and soon forgotten…
(Only one…)
Feel little pity with his wasted time.
Come shake the hands of the unlucky one.
