Closer To Dead Is Closer To Free

Closer to dead

Is closer to free

Truth no longer

Hides from me

In the corner of my eye

There I see

Shadows approaching slowly

I do not flee

Gene G. McLaughlin 2014

The Who The What You Love

In pain

Or distress

Or in the end

You don’t remember

The cause of them

At the end of it all

You recall

The who

The what

You love

Gene G. McLaughlin 2014
