Fading Fame
FADING FAME
A gaze fixed, on a sinking sun,
A breeze so chill, soothed my back,
Another dead day, still hoping,
Maybe the next, they will notice,
A dancing flame, still burns,
A dying fame, everything but fun,
Kicked a stone, sat on a rock,
Felt so lone, once I did rock,
Felt numb, sad, no, just dumb,
A lazy stroll, lead me to tomb’s,
They still like me, means free booze,
But the loud music, did little to soothe,
Recent blows, to my weeping heart,
A bottle on my hand, luck jumped off the other,
Despair in my mind, I seeped in the dark,
Staggers, curses, I felt my world reel,
Tripping, rolling, felt like I was in a wheel,
Then a sudden stop,
Felt my eyes close, slowly I drifted,
Sure on the next, the will notice.
