Poetry: Broken & lost

It must have been a bitter pill to take
Knowing it controlled you
Every swallow more lethal than the last
What a hell on earth to go through
What some consider reckless
You found as your release
Such a heartbreaking choice
That brings a man to peace

Desolate man
You do not know me anymore

How can you say you don't know me
When I've always known you
The blank stares of a man lost
What a hell on earth to go through
This sickness that kills you
Kills us all inside
Old man you're not so old
I can not sit here and watch you die

Desolate man
You do not know me anymore

I can not help but think of how
To keep from losing my way
The pain you no longer know
Haunts me every day
I continue to fight it
With these burning hands
I struggle to keep myself
From becoming a desolate man





Dedicated to Lance
