The End

Composer: Roger D. Linder
The truth has now been spoken My light no longer shines All hope has now been broken They've all left me behind The pain of their betrayal Too much for me to bear I see in their portrayal I catch it in their glare It seems as if it's a good time To shuffle off this mortal coil In victory, the only crime Is to gain this loser's spoils A failure I shall always be There's nothing otherwise I know Any attempt to alter me Will come as something of a blow And so, my friends, I end this note I dare say we'll not meet again For of this life, no antidote It's only loss, and naught to gain

@timfatchen - 2025-03-03 It comes across as a solid and despairing suicide note. Needs music-to-cut-your-wrists-by, a la Leonard Cohen. That's all compliment by the way (some get worried when i go mordant, but hey! serious laments are needed too!
