Last Check To Cash
How do I exit gracefully,
how do I end it all
Can I rewrite the terms again
before the final fall
The kids now counting every day
the moments still all mine
The days and weeks of years gone by
a measure now defined
How do I finally say goodbye
and start anew again
This world peeled back against itself
no more left to befriend
Regret a word best left behind
for others who have sinned
Stepping into eternity’s vault
—last check to cash within
