The thing of it is
I did what I did
Ten years, no twenty, got behind me
Thought I was a dreamer that did
But I’m just a dreamer with wishes
My many opportunities, all misses
Those dreams all gone now
Replaced with struggle and survival
Life gets in the way
Of living

I awoke from a 30 year dream
And reality smacked me in the face.

The Darkness came for me in the night
With the setting sun
The loss of light
The Darkness enveloped and consumed
No brightness, only gloom
The Darkness took from me my soul
I gave no fight
For I am too old
I should be relieved that it is gone
But in place of my heart
It left a gaping hole.

My love for Cathy is so large
That in trying to carry it
I find myself crushed.

I feel like I need medication
I need tranquilization.

Somewhere along the path
     I died
But did not know enough
     To stop walking.

I will do everything big!
For no success should go unnoticed
No voice unheard
No risk taken without chance of harm
No conditional love
No joy mundane
And no mistake can ever be small.

Dying is such a slow process. I’m nearly 41 years into my death and there’s still no end in sight.
