broken man

BROKEN MAN


A sorry sight is he with no way out 
A broken man who lost all 
A man abandoned by all who he held dear 

Money and friends he cherished 
And wasted no indiscriminately
Not even a recent memory 

He questions himself
And wraps himself in pity 
Thinking life has forsaken him
Leaving him a shell of melancholy 

To reach this point 
Was a short journey from the high of over surviving 
To the depths of reeking despair

The king of his hill was he
Thoughts of tomorrow always kept at bay 
Today was all it was supposed to be  
 
He now patiently awaits his next chance for sweet misery
The only familiarity he knows  
In a world of dismal life treachery
