he'd be a free man today

Thunder rolls outside

perhaps my pounding headache?

side affect of emotional build up I'm sure

Rain cascades down

or are those my tears?

Sadness leads to the confusion

I'm feeling

so much to be said

and no one to say it to

Lost

Alone

Guilty

ashamed of decisions

in my past

I suppose Hell has an open seat

for me

and if I'm lucky

a bucket of popcorn

he'd be a free man today

the best man I've known

would have been free today

If it weren't for my selfishness

and my fear

What a nightmare this has been

He wasn't innocent either

he was the best man I've known

admitting his sins

and taking the blame for mine.

People have suffered

and now

regret surrounds all I do

he'd be a free man today

but instead I'm alone
