One time
in the midst of pouring
my life juice over
the dried out grass,
after pops left,
he came and set my soul
at rest
but now he is dead
forcing me to grow
old,
to embrace the cold
of an empty bed.
I'm so sorry Ed
that I'm nothing more
than a college drop out
I never meant to let you down
but I've never lived
for myself
always for
someone
else.
