Perched upon a driftwood log silently he sits stares at the foaming waves on this forgotton beach a lonely man thinks of the past a short lived smile upon his lips as he remembers his children on this same beach playing games and running wild all gone now and out of reach he returns to his reverie and
a darker mood settles over him all gone now all gone he thinks a tear rolls down his weathered cheek for times long past.
he thinks maybe death would welcome me and set me free at last no more thoughts of the past or a lonely future filled with dread the black dog nipping at my feet visits me at night in sleep
all gone now all gone now he thinks the pills he brought should do the trick to end this hell on earth and set him free at last swallow the pills and be quick too late to turn back now
perched upon a driftwood log sleepily he sits stares at the darkening waves on this forgotton beach the sun shines bright in an azure sky no clouds to darken anything
as he tumbles off the log his sight fading and body weak he lays on this forgotton beach staring at the dark blue sky and wonders why its come to this a lonely way to die he thinks
the tears run down his weathered face now darkness gathers in this place its time to die and say goodbye to this lonely man on this forgotton beach
now he rests in peace on this lonely beach a lonely man the world forgot lays upon this forelorn shore a smile upon his frozen face tells of his new resting place
rest in peace
