Lifes Lesson

Hank played softly
As he quietly faded
Cold rag laid on his forehead
Unable to speak
I just hope he heard what I said
Forty feeling like a kid
Selfishly asking
Why is this happening to me
I want to scream dad come back
Your the only parent I have left
Don't leave me
God damn God
Don't you love me

Darkness darkens any sunshine in my life
A jaded man
Never believing even if I see it myself
Know I need help
But read the line above the last one
I trust no one
Not even myself
I'm over myself
I'm leaving this place
Off pace in lifes race
Ready for the pasture
Bypass my last days
Take my next breathe away

Pain and heartache
Tears from heartbreak
Everything ends
That becomes to much for the heart to take
Attacked by pain
Some call it a heart attack
Only half are able to make a comeback
Hundred percent of those fifty percent start searching
Before recovery ends
Mistakes don't lead to rewards
If they cheated with you
They will cheat on you
What's a wife who's not a friend
Trade the queen size in
Why waste space
Get a futon, mini refrig and a hot plate
Move back in with your mom
And let her judge before the right one
Goes wrong again
Nobody will ever see the worth in the two cents you chip in
But the woman who pushed you out
To always keep you close
Giving  a life lesson from day one
Still learning from my own and it's been seventeen years since she went home
She's the sole reason why I'll never be alone
