I walk on

I Walk On

She broke your heart ❤️
You couldn’t recover
From the memories
Of a faded lover

Your first love
And it was true
Still you hold on
Resist the new.

Trapped in a cycle
Of pain and hate
Killing yourself
Accepting fate

You roll the dice
Gamble your health
You have no rhythm
You have no wealth

Life is a treadmill
That you must run
But the work you need to do
Is never done.

Rely on parents at fifty-six
To fund your drinking
And cancer sticks

Your ex is there
Inside the wings
To lend you money
For your addictions

You wanted me
To hold you up
But my life’s worth
Ain’t your cider cup

I gave you my heart
My soul, my care
And in the night
You left me there

Cold, alone
And with no voice
Leaving now
My only choice.

A half-baked man
Who breathes out smoke
Drowns on wine
While loved ones choke

Rely on money
From generational hands
Evade real life
Where real love stands

I’m not a crutch
To carry your weight
Your path is chosen
So seal your fate

I cut the ties, I burn the rope
I trade your poison for my hope
Your shadow fades, your grip is gone
I walk alone—yet I walk on.
