Does anyone care what he has done
The news just needs a story
He has never known love
He has no family
We drive by the burnt down house
His ashes merged with the old memories
The memories he used to know
No one knew what was going on
Knew what was in his head
No one ever listened
The little girl down the street
That would give him his paper every week
An exchange of hellos once
Is the closes thing to a relationship he has had
Driving by that old burnt down house
I think about what life he could have lived
The news got their story the story of the old man
Who fell with his house
A few weeks ago a man in my neighborhood burnt down his house with him in it. I dont know why but it is just really interesting to me.
