Endwell

My heart is racing, feelings confused.
Wishing I could help him see this through.
No matter what,
nothing I do will ease his suffering.
All he has are the memories of who he was, and how it used to be.
He brings his hands together
and begins to pray
for this to be an end to his constant misery.
The cross he bears around his neck (the cross he bears)
The only thing that comforts him (what else is left?)
And so he prays for this to end (what else is left?)
A shadow of his former self.
Tired and weakened now
demons are his only company
So, give up the ghost.
Ten years shy of a century
All he has left are the memories
of who he was and how it used to be.
Pray for this to be the end of his constant suffering.
The cross he bears around his neck (the cross he bears)
The only thing that comforts him (what else is left?)
a loaded gun against his head (what else is left?)
A shadow of his former self.
Pointless at best
no means to an end
his hands to his head
he prays for the end to this nightmare
(he prays)
The cross he bears around his neck (the cross he bears)
The only thing that comforts him (what else is left?)
And so he prays for this to end (what else is left?)
A shadow of his former self.
All he has left are the memories
(All he has left are the memories)
All he has left is the memory...
