Xander (3)


After the music ends

Beneath the starry night

Cover my body

Drown me in the river

Enter your car and leave

Find me in the paper

Go to my grave

Hate yourself

In the middle of the night

Join in the tune

Kick off your shoes

Love a kind soul

Open your heart to her

Move on from me

No turning back to before

Pry your eyes open

Quit sleeping all day

Return to your job

Survive another day

Teach your children about

Unconditional love

Venture into the unknown and

Win your battles

Xander, please

You need to live a better life

Zest in a better life for me.
