He sat all alone at home There was no where to roam Even on this holiday All his family had passed away His ex-wife and kids where in a different state There was nothing for him to celebrate Life had left him with an empty plate He was trying hard to stay away from deaths gate
He sat there trying to watch on tv some shows Only commercials of happy families, that's just the way it goes He set's there reliving happier memories Then looked around at his empty house of misery
A call from his kids Sent him into a skid Made him relive their younger years He was so glad they couldn't see his tears He did have a small smile as they talked But like anything the call to soon came to an end, it stopped
The heart piercing whimper that acrossed his lips seep Would of made the coldest hearted person weep He just sat there with eyes red with the pain Knowing all he had lost, not seeing anything left to gain
The agony of his memories played in his mind Desperately wishing he could go back in time So he could fix it all, make it all rhyme For this mountain of lonely misery, he just couldn't climb
As others enjoy their families, with good food and cheer You will find him setting there with his cans of beer Trying to drown his sorrow, amplified by this holiday of thanks giving Wishing that instead of dying inside, he was living
