No Longer Here Will Remain
No Longer Here Will Remain
Had heard softy sound of a distant drum
After to all of his desires he did succumb
While lying there dreaming in his bed
Having to face facts he often would dread.
What if pregnant she were to become?
And me like an idiot who was so dumb
Forgot about words she often had said
About ways she wished that I was dead.
Over and over repeated and repeated
What was said without a word being deleted
Hoping to win at least some of her favor back
And when greeted would give me more slack.
But even still after that the fact remained
In many things may be well versed and trained
Lights became lower and were growing dim
Had to face facts things were growing grim.
Know I will never win her back again
And for sure no matter what, where or when
From me a loser she had left and gone
I the great lover and also a Don Juan.
Waited and wanted it all over and done
Placed bullet gently into cylinder of a gun
Then did fire it directly into my brain
My life here on earth no longer will remain.

there who feel like this.
