The light went out

The day you said enough

I’m sorry I didn’t know

That life for you was tough

Your smile those dimples deep

Eyes brown closed now you sleep

Forever a light went out

Your moods your thoughts you shout

But something in you died

The songs you wrote I cried

For love you felt was more

Than other poets who soared

Did you want to hurt

Those you sought more from

Or were you tired of life

You died and cut like a knife

Those whom loved you most

They now understand

You were a passionate

Moody man

For Paolo
