Now Too Old And Who The Hell Cares
He was old, too tired and alone
feeling sadness deep in his bones.
Paper cursed, his pen went bad
night was dark, heartbreak was so sad.
Looking back, his life full of scars
few he got fighting in bars.
Now too old and who the hell cares
that a poet's words he now shares?
Dread, that deep dread that dark nights bring
can poet words, speak of such things?
What solace, can memories give
when years are far too few to live?
Ah, but this he still thinks of you
true love found, found both of you two.
