Poem: Spent so much time there
Seems a lifetime ago
Vultures in black trees
Devouring me
Charlie's broken at 23
Such a catastrophe
White coats opportunity
To agree Oh, Mercy me

Debbie came to see
Weeping at the sight
Her boyfriend zombie
Shaking hands
Swollen tongue
Words unable to speak

It’s been a long time
30 years since then
Use to crave time alone
A place to call my own
I've made it I'm unknown

Still wish I could borrow
Some things from the past
Just without the sorrow

Debbie came to see
Just the other night
But it was just another dream
Oh, mercy me......
