Shell Of A Man

Who are you?
A father who left his family behind
A man I can’t even recognize
Twisting the truth to your advantage
So who else is responsible for your demise?

Everything you once stood for has faded
I have witnessed you deteriorate
A shell of a man now in your place
I watched you decay day by day
Corrode into this person I hate

Death waits around your corner
It creeps in the back of your mind
Do you want to die?
I wonder, as I see you worse
As I survey your gradual decline

I won’t mourn the loss of a stranger
You’ve done this to yourself
Pushed away all attempts to help
Remember that, when you self-destruct
When you can no longer blame anyone else

I’ll never understand why you choose this
Why this is the person you want to be
Your soul barren and empty
When all you ever had to do was reach out
Reach out to your own family

There’s no hope for restoration
All your walls are falling down
Cracks and splinters surround you now
And I’ll remind myself that you died a long time ago
As we lower what’s left of you into the ground
