He said...



"You caught me at a bad time.

I've been sitting here

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

For years now.

Hoping that

One day it will all make sense.

But I can't erase

What I never was

And I can't continue to be

What I am" -



"Explain to me

What you would do

In this situation...

I mean...

There I was

Sitting at home

Drinking my problems away... And... --

Nobody ever asks to be that person!

No one ever says to themself,

'That will be me one day' -

I was just tryin to get

My bits and kibbles."



As I watched him pass

Right there in front of me,

I came to terms

With the fact that

It was his time to go...

And I watched him die

Right there in the middle

Of the park.



"Well..." He said.

"The Lord works

In mysterious ways..."

As if to suggest

That this is some

Happy instance

The two of us

Having this lonely conversation...

So I looked to him,

And I realized,

He was in his final breath.

And the last thing he said to me was,

"Don't worry about me...

You'll be okay,

Once you stop talking to

Yourself...

One day it will all make sense."
