Broken man, a wounded soul

Carves his name in stone, Gently turns to gray

Every moment, every day

Framed by memories, Slowly fades away

Kinship slipping through my hands

Hourglass sands, lost and deserted

Watched you flourish from afar

Chase your ambitions, I hope you find balance

Silent eulogy, mementos of my past

In my mind it was a life worth living

“To live alone one must become either an animal or a god”

Starvation finds your way to the top

Mediocrity settles for crumbs

I built my empire. Conquered mountains,

brushed hands with kings. Relinquished love.

Now I bow my head and surrender to the night.
