Utterly alone

Posted on by Leendert van Gemeren

He couldn’t live anymore with the shame
That he was himself for to blame
For being utterly alone

And in the end he came
To the sad conclusion
It would never be the same
As once before

He decided it was time to go
And then walked his last mile

He waited for that final moment
To take that last jump into peace
But he just stood there foolishly
Alone, in a dead end street

So he went home again
And kissed his wife
He ate his dinner

About the Author

Leendert van Gemeren

This is me, Leendert. I am a little bit old-fashioned and I love things from the past, old series like All Creatures Great And Small and On The Buses, mechanical wristwatches, bi-focal glasses, the old Pub Clock in the living room and vinyl records on my Garrard record player for example. I like shiny rings, bracelets and necklaces. Eccentric. You can often find me in the kitchen at parties.
