When I Get Old

I finally figured it out.

I'm going to die alone.

Forgotten and forlorn.

Let my cats feast on me

And the nurse finds my body

I'll be sitting in my chair

Waiting for the coroner

To take me away

And toss me in the bay

Let me sink to the bottom

Alone and forgotten.

Sleazy

I read what you wrote
And now I know
I'm not a rockstar
Not by far

I read what you wrote
And now I know
I'm not a husband
Not even a friend

I read what she wrote
And now I know
I'm not anything
So that's why I sing

I'm giving up now
That's why I'm writing this
To let you all know
That you'll be missed

But not for long
Only to the end
Of my next song

Because this road leads no where
And the days will never end
All you bring is loneliness, my friends

I wish we were
But we're not

If I could go back
I wouldn't give it
another shot

This shit keeps repeating
That's why I can
Write a poem to three
Different women

I loved you all at one time in my life
But all it brought me
was to the edge of a knife
So I'm letting you know
Once again
Thanks for everything
I'll never do that shit again.
