Perdition





By me

There’s no need
For me still to be
The family tragedy
That path with it’s
Well-worn treads
Has been traveled
Far enough
No longer a life
Of crime
This life of mine
Walking forward through
Years of neglect
I step onto
The road untraveled
By me

  1. feels like a change...unaccepting of the way things are and being willing to find the new roads...

    I was so in love
    with my gun, my beautiful
    shined up lead filled rod
    before you took me down
    on the road to Perdition.
    They made that town up,
    the bastards. You said
    it was real and you lied to
    save your soul right then.

    A wild goose flew past
    the windshield of the antique
    ride assigned to me
    as I drove us smack
    into the stony field wall
    on the road's left side.
