She remembered a time when things mattered and she really cared
things that counted and feelings that were important
now they just don’t matter anymore I was told
she said your aged now and not a soul wants you
you don’t seem the same and nobody cares
it is because you chose your way of living
and nobody understands and you can’t expect them to either
did you think that one day there was someone who cared?
or did you just not give a shit
were you that self- absorbed?
and now you cry all by yourself with your fucking shitty self
who cares? Because I don’t
please tell me if someone does
i would like to congratulate them
tip my hat to them
so to speak as a gentleman articulates
(TIPPING HIS HAT)
what happened to you did you think you were faultless
nothing is perfect not even sex with whores
masturbating by yourself in your lonely room
where the walls are filthy with grease and dirt
from too many years of no concentrated effort
begrimed grey curtains that were once white
now hang as droopy and listless as you are
with no movement (insensate)
filthy as your mind and soul (mucky)
no one who cares anymore because you sent them away
how long will you stay breathing this way?
everyone thought you would not make it this long
you should be gone by now in the ground
where your body will continue decomposing
like your mind has been doing for years
rotting away with every illegal substance you ingest
life of a debauched and pathetic person
did you once have parents who tried to nurture you?
or were you thrown on the dirt only to be swept up with the other litter
to be discarded and forgotten about
is that how the story goes that you tell
some line of crap that you think people believe
that line used to work but not anymore
You are transparent
