Does it have to be to be this way?
My spirits gone
But my body’s,
left behind to carry on,
Cold , empty worn out
Not enough kindle to light the fire,
Nothing to keep me warm
Echoes fade of past decades,
only yesterday’s
No future planned,
No momentum,
Just sat staring at a declining world,
no enthusiasm to engage…
My mind is wandering through empty rooms
Trying not to recall,
Memories of yesteryear
When life was full of colour
Life was full…
Just sat here alone
Waiting for my turn,
To topple off this earth,
Have I stayed too long?
Did I miss my turn?
And why did my spirit abandon me?
I didn’t ask to get old,
My spirits gone
But my body’s,
left behind, to carry on,
My spirits gone
But my body’s,
left behind to carry on,
Cold , empty worn out
Not enough kindle to light the fire,
Nothing to keep me warm
Echoes fade of past decades,
only yesterday’s
No future planned,
No momentum,
Just sat staring at a declining world,
no enthusiasm to engage…
My mind is wandering through empty rooms
Trying not to recall,
Memories of yesteryear
When life was full of colour
Life was full…
Just sat here alone
Waiting for my turn,
To topple off this earth,
Have I stayed too long?
Did I miss my turn?
And why did my spirit abandon me?
I didn’t ask to get old,
My spirits gone
But my body’s,
left behind, to carry on,
