    TAKE THE EDGE OFF


    TAKE THE EDGE OFF

    Nobody really knows
    The pain I endure
    Each day it grows
    This is for sure

    Everyone says you look great
    You're not really sick
    Just go out on a date
    Get back into the mix

    They aren't aware
    Of the days I can't move
    It is so unfair
    The pain doesn't improve

    Get up, get out of bed
    You'll feel better the more you do
    Look at the bright side instead
    Buy a vowel, get a clue

    High doses of pain pills
    Barely take the edge off
    I don't take 'em for the thrills
    You don't know, you just scoff

    When it hurts so bad
    You can't touch your own skin
    So sorrowful, so sad
    The time has come to toss it all in

    Little do they know
    Arrangements are all made
    When you finally let go
    It's all set, even the music to be played

    Some days are better
    But lately they get worse
    Should you seal the letter
    And finally stop this curse?

    The kids are grown and living life
    It wasn't your plan and not your game
    Way back when you were somebody's wife
    But he couldn't deal 'cause life wasn't the same

    Everyone is gone without a worry
    Pain becomes your only friend
    You want it to stop, you're in a hurry
    Maybe enough pills will bring the end

    We would never let out pets suffer
    With no quality of life, if their pain was that bad
    Euthanize, give them that buffer
    Sure, we'd feel hurt and oh, so sad

    Time heals all wounds is what they say
    Nothing that a new pup, with new games
    Wouldn't cure this day
    Faithful old friend not forgotten
    Just on the back burner, out of the way

    My time has come, the pain too much
    Lonliness and depression, out of touch
    You're dying alone and that really sucks
    Because friends and family are total fucks!

    Dr. Kovorchian, the suicide guy
    Assisted two people with my very own illness
    The man that knows when it's time to die
    He'd give me that needle to sweet, precious stillness...

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
