Eternal
I’ll sleep when I die
Sleep when I die
Go out like Dad
Couldn’t speak when he died
The look in his eyes
Like a newborn
Wishing for words
All the mistakes
Hindsight really is
20/20
So was the price
Of that glassine
Every ounce of hope
Extinguished
In a swift rush to the brain
Green light went flat
There was no more
Pain.
