An Old Man's Story

 
It's a story of an old man
One with a broken heart just before age 30
It's about a man with dreams,
A man with hopes of a love undying
He craves love and lives for the day it finally comes
But his heart can not hold - hold a love and keep
It's all the stabbing from his last attempts, so he leaks
He's a man beautiful with a smile to make one feel like a bird in the heavens
He has wrinkles from all the bottles he sipped empty,
Swollen eyes from all the sorrowful sleepless nights
He's old and paralysed down to the low of a wheelchair -
Paralysed from all the bullets he took with the hopes of forever
He's an old man
A man with dreams and hopes of a love undying
He lives for the day it finally chooses him
He's a lover, a sweetheart and a darling
Oh his sparkly eyes
Oh his sweet and soothing smile
He's warm and comforting
Peaceful but bruised from his pains
His hopes of forever, ones who loved and left him, long gone with the winds of June
And alone he awaits his death
On his porch he sits and gazes as the sunsets
He rises with the stars and moon as he reminisces the joy he never had
He sees death everytime his eyes shut
Dying alone a lover with no heart to love
It's his whole story, one he pities to tell
He's broken hearted and his ending
Who is to come to his rescue?
