There’s pros

to aging too.

Many of my favorite people

Have been eaten away…

My heart breaks for who I used to be

I can’t even see her anymore…

What a relief it is to know now

That I get to spend the rest of my life

Becoming what I’ve always admired in you.

I want to feel, a little.

I want to miss what is gone…

…The purpose of life is living,

Practice until you die…

…That cannot be denied,

but it’s worth it so that’s why it’s fine…

…It seems to be a matter of submission

Maybe one day I’ll learn…

…Maybe everyone’s

just masking to succeed…

…If only I could think these thoughts on paper.

If only the keys knew the trails my mind has trekked, …

There is no in between…

I love the lake

But I can not stay…

Did you give her your whole heart too?

...Because it’s better to die

Having had you in my life.

...I know I played my part

But you are my heart...

...Deeper than the surface

Where I am complaining...

...My last written work

Before a two year hiatus...

...I’d like to remember

More of my lifetime

Before my final ride...

...Spooky season is yours now

For the rest of my time...

...Happy New Year, Attie Boy...

I'm grateful we're both here.
