The Death of a Man

He twisted then turned 
Writhing in internal pain 
As he hopes for the immortal gain
Seeking to relieve him 
Of this wretched state 

He sighs 
As he forced a smile 
Walking on rocks 
He even forced a truck
Just with the hope 
To find a lost will

He is there to all
But within he is long gone 
Only waiting for the right time 
To be laid down 
For we all know the song
That a man is long gone 
When his hope is lost.
