The Old Guitarist

The cold whirled into the room,

The breeze freezing the poor mans toes.

 

A sigh rattles in his chest,

His fingers strum the strings of his guitar.

 

Alone and Forgotten,

Death probably approaches,

His fingers strum the strings of his guitar.

 

A hum moves out of his dry lips,

His pale skin shines in the moonlight.

 

No more hope,

His fingers strum the strings to his guitar.
