He's wasting away, his skin clings to his bones He no longer talks doesn't answer his phone His eyes are lifeless, there is no soul His mouth is a shrivelled, sunken hole His body is unwashed, his hair is matted He's finally given in to this never ending battle Helpers come to visit but he's lost to the poison He doesn't want to go on, he can't see a reason The pills form a pile at his front door There's faeces and ***** soaked into the floor His chair is an island, the ******* the sea The ***** is his medicine, the cigarettes his relief He sits in his pants, he has no dignity left He feels so utterly useless, completelyΒ Β bereft His children just use him, abuse him for money He just wants them to love him unconditionally
