Never Coming Up
A man walks down the road
a wanderer with no goal
on his heart a heavy load
That will soon take a toll
As he walks in solitude
his eyes drift from reality
a place without grattitude
the darker side of fantasy
Life lost to him it's purpose
He had nothing left to lose
He was giving into us
He was going to forever snooze
In the darkness he was lost
bumping into all fear and hate
his soul colder than winter's frost
In his heart lay a closed gate
He came upon a bridge
looked at the water below
and quietly walked to the edge
into the water he would go
One last look at life
his knees then bent
"I'm coming dear wife"
then down he went.
never coming up.
