Last ThoughtsA Poem by David Lewis PagetI have nothing left to say All my thoughts have blown away, And I dread the sun that rises in the morning, For my wife will look at me Knowing all my history, While my emptiness is all that I was born in.
For the world has bled me dry Took the tears I meant to cry, And corrupted everything that I believed in, All the things I thought were right Disappeared overnight, Leaving only false ideals that were deceiving.
All I see is greed and hate Love that tends to dissipate, And the friends that turn away when you are needing, All the former friends before Who came knocking at your door, But don’t want to know the score when you are bleeding.
Life is much too long alone When your family has grown Leaving just the faintest essence of their passing, When they find the world out there They have little left to share But the faded photographs you lived your past in. I was young, but now I’m old So the story has been told And there’s little in the future I’ll be keeping, But a faded, caring wife Who stood by me in this life, And will still be by my side when we are sleeping.
