He's bewildered
and so damn afraid,
hangman's noose holds him
as he sways away,
home is where he sits
locked in a makeshift cage,
a moment of silence...
can we all
bow our heads
and pray,
when he woke he didn't know
this was his last day,
If he knew
would the words change
that sit on this page,
when he shot down the sun
he was only seconds away,
he moved mountains
but she still
wouldn't look his way,
with a broken heart
he became lost
in life's broken maze,
the pain will forever remain
upon his face,
he has one foot in the grave
and believes he's found
his place,
who would've known the end
was a mirror image
of his very own face.
