What do you do
When your life unravels
Comes apart at the seams
Everything that you know is suddenly wrong
Everything that you trust is false
Nothing has any meaning
Nothing tastes good anymore
Nothing brings pleasure

It’s all just a dull gray pain
Just behind the eyes
Indescribable
Incomprehensible
Unwanted and unappreciated

It’s hard to be grateful
It’s hard not to be bitter and angry

So what do you do?
Divorce the wife?
Have an affair with a much younger woman?
Buy a ridiculously expensive car?
Get a tattoo?
Develop a fuck you attitude to everyone and everything?

Still the ache remains
The gray haze envelopes everything you see
The emptiness remains
Dreams left empty and blank
Kisses left undelivered
Sighs and moans unuttered

It’s easy to be hateful
Simpler to be resentful
