No Longer Here Will Remain

No Longer Here Will Remain Had heard softy sound of a distant drum After to all of his desires he did succumb While lying there dreaming in his bed Having to face facts he often would dread. What if pregnant she were to become? And me like an idiot who was so dumb Forgot about words she often had said About ways she wished that I was dead. Over and over repeated and repeated What was said without a word being deleted Hoping to win at least some of her favor back And when greeted would give me more slack. But even still after that the fact remained In many things may be well versed and trained Lights became lower and were growing dim Had to face facts things were growing grim. Know I will never win her back again And for sure no matter what, where or when From me a loser she had left and gone I the great lover and also a Don Juan. Waited and wanted it all over and done Placed bullet gently into cylinder of a gun Then did fire it directly into my brain My life here on earth no longer will remain.
