Each Ending
It never is our favorite part.
Though not enticing or a treat,
Each ending is a new start.
My hero on the screen
Coolest guy I’d ever seen
The type who seemed nice, even when he’s mean
Found out, he was dead years ago
It hits you like a bullseye dart
And makes you stop and miss a beat
It never is our favorite part
Just an accident one night
Downed a few more pills than another might
Took till the morning to know he wasn’t all right
Almost wish I didn’t know
It tastes of sadness, slightly tart
But each ending is a new start.
Died while we knew him bold
While his walk and talk were oversold
Even before we could watch him grow old
Half his story left unsung
Those tearful ends, be still my heart
The ones that make you leave your seat
Each ending is a new start
He’s remembered well
Made the books, from what I can tell
He made us laugh, we’re still under his spell
He lives on, forever young.

Each closing is a work of art
Eventual and bittersweet
It never is our favorite part
But each ending is just a new start.
