 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Need to care


No more questions that need answers
no more answers that need lies
no more listening to the old clock chimes
past all the hours that I despise.

No more awakening to a cloudy day
no more sleeping beneath the stars
no more searching for my one true path
having walked… so very far.

No more church bells on a Sunday morn
no more picnics by the sea
no more lovers to kiss me soft goodnight
…just something that's meant to be.

No more challenges to tempt my strength
no more weaknesses to lay bare
no more good reason for me to carry on
now that I've lost the need to care.
