An Old Man Now

For years I sat here and I waited For you to come I anticipated The one love I once had never showed as the days past Cried and cried because of the hurt deep inside Time came time went and I miss the time that we spent I called your name and there came no reply and the hurt grew more deep inside For thirty years I sat for the wait and how you still never came Now in my casket I can laugh nor sigh But one old tear rolls down my eye how you left me here to rot and die
