This is my neighbor
his hair half gone
he has been sitting in this chair all night long
Those are his hands all balled up in a deep sadness
He just got word that his
grandson had died in the war
I can hear glass break every time he finishes a bottle
This is heart break
This is the only person who was left in his family
This is the one that cared
The old man looks up to the sky in anger
like he doesn't understand why
why do all the good people fly
This is good, Jane. So heartbreaking, especially the lines "I can hear glass break every time he finishes a bottle" and "this is the one that cared." I've asked myself something similar to your last line several times.
