The Man He Was

all alone and withdrawn

a stool at the bar to settled down

with every slug the memories close in all the mistakes and all the sins

breaking down all the years into moments good or bad, but they show him

the man he was

the decisions made in the past

lay the foundation for what lasts

scars healed, tears dried long ago

there will be no second chance, as we know

breaking down all the years into moments good or bad, but they show him

what remains and what is true

but after all he paid the due

for the man he was

the man he was
