Deaprted
As she came downstairs and said you were gone
I thought at first what a con
Immediately I felt anger and hate
How could you leave us
With nothing on the plate
I weeped not for the wrong you had done
But for what our family had become
Already torn and worn out
We had given up could not shout
I heard you went without a fight
I imagined how you felt that night
I hoped your thoughts were of us
Not your crazy stories aboard the bus
Something tells me it was of the drink
You never had much room to think
I'm the same age as you when your life took a tumble
But for me right now I have no need to grumble
I have something now I never had
Nobody wants to ever feel sad
Your mind was consumed with thoughts of life
You even forgot your own wife
My soul has now healed and we move on
The ones you left behind
Your legacy breathes on
