Old Age

Time and age take a way more than death

In the window of a old home
I stood lost in sorrow there
I was the reason they are living in despair

Inside by a fire burning bright
I saw the love of my life my woman my wife
She was holding onto a picture frame
I heard her softly call my name

Lord why is it to be a fresh new day
Why must you take me a way
I just cannot go on in this state
Tears they lay on the last page

Death should bring anger and rage
Not tears and lonely pain
Who made these rules of memory lost
Can they be changed

Damn I hate to see them cry
What is the answer here
I know they should move on
Remember the good I’ve done

Just because I sit in that chair
Out the window I stare
I see nothing not even air
Why do you keep me here

Let them put me in the ground
It would be better if I were not around
To remind of them of whoI was
Help me help those I love
