Bill the cowboy


cowboy angel telling me about life
living confined on the tip of a knife
cut out the heart one piece at a time
doesn’t have much but always has time
living inside the darkest and deepest hole
only a handshake I can offer to console
desperate living through everyone he meet
she wakes every day to the odds does he cheat
don’t know how he faces tomorrow
he says he bends under his cross of sorrow
wonders why he can’t stand on the feet he’s been given
what is it he has done and why hasn’t he been forgiven
by now all he’s done is wait for the next day
if I was him don’t know if I would be here today…
