My Grand Performance

This is my closing song, My concluding dance, Bidding my final farewell You have given up on me, No longer do I matter to you And so- I give up on myself The one promise I ever believed Was made by you The one promise that was most important You broke You swore you’d never leave And always be there But now you’ve left- Never wanting to return And you aren’t even saddened It’s apparent you do not need me I have filled my usefulness And now on empty I am left abandoned On the long forgotten Desert roadways Left to decay in the boiling sun I sing my last words Dance my last step Towards the edge of the cliff The end of the knife The barrel of a shotgun And the open bottle of pills Closing my grand performance With one last whisper on my breath; “I’m sorry, my love…”
