Dinner for Wolves

 
What do you say
When the eyes staring back at you
Simply say
                       ‘I want to die’
How to be the hero
When everyone else in those eyes
Eventually lied

And left you to die alone
fed you to the wolves
kept leading you on

How do you hold
Your own composure
When they say
          ‘I’m ready to throw it all away’

How to be the hero
When everyone else in those eyes
Sooner or later lied
And left you to die
alone
fed to the wolves
kept leading them on

What problems can you solve
If the patient becomes the subject
   Which rests six feet underground
there was no goodbye

     Goodbye
