Death of a Poet
Puts his pen to paper
For one last goodbye
Will try his best to say it all
In this his final write
He'll address it to his loved ones
And those that know him well
In hopes they'll take it all with ease
Though there's no way to really tell
He's written about the ups and downs
The ins and outs of life
So what is written on this lonely page
Should come as no surprise
He's always felt so out of place
Even in this poets world
At one time was his saving grace
That no writings now can cure
So he puts his pen to paper
His beginning and his end
Never doing him any favors
Both as enemy and friend
All he can think to write
Is I've simply had enough
As his very last line for the very last time
Is written out in poets blood
