from the old files
old
when i've grown old,and feelings are numb
my hair turns grey.and all my teeth fall off
wizened skin; colds and aches
can't do nothing but mumble.
my children live in another place
i've returned home to another place
i'm a stranger i've lost my way
"hey what did you say?"
"sorry? i can't hear you."
"oh, that's sad to say, or hear,whatever."
kids have all gone
and left me alone.
wife? she died ten years long
and never came back since
last i heard,she was with someone called the King.
everyday i cried "eve got tried"
because i can't tell "she got sent to hell"
what people can't hear "swallowed by the fear"
i'm old,useless?
she's dead,am i ridiculous?
