Never to Look Back Again

After the sunshine

Always comes the rain

After a high point

We always feel the pain

Empty bottles

Cover my tables

They lay flowers at my feet

I still breath

But to them I am dead

I used to be more

A warrior with great stature

My perspective

Is no longer reality

The man I once was

The life I left behind

Stares back at me as a memory

The world around me

Drowns me

Because I let the grief take hold

Now like a once-mighty ship

I am mighty no more

So now I drown my failure

Try to hide my self-hatred

And to them

I am now dead

They lay flowers at my feet

Bow their heads

And say prayers for me

Tears are shed

As they walk away

Never to look back again
