Last Check To Cash

How do I exit gracefully,

how do I end it all

 

Can I rewrite the terms again

before the final fall

 

The kids now counting every day

the moments still all mine

 

The days and weeks of years gone by

a measure now defined

 

How do I finally say goodbye

and start anew again

 

This world peeled back against itself

no more left to befriend

 

Regret a word best left behind

for others who have sinned

 

Stepping into eternity’s vault

—last check to cash within
