- Death
- an attractive option
- to christmas spent alone
- without kids
- without wife
- without shared joy, or song.
- the unbearable pain of loneliness
- a most severe punishment
- for being shy and abandoned
- by an adulterous woman.
- by what power do
- I cling to this miserable existence
- each day to bring only more loneliness?
- for what reason do I go on? there is no
- reason, only a thread of hope
- that it's all a bad dream,
- and I'll wake up happy
- tomorrow, or maybe not wake up
- at all. My thread is fully
- unravelled.
