He Died alone

He died alone in a doorway in the street 

He died alone in the cold with nothing to eat

He died alone in the day not the night 

He died alone his body gave up the fight 

He died alone and nothing was said 

He died alone no one realised that he was dead.

He died alone as people walked close by 

He died alone homeless in the street that is no way to die.
