Nothing Left

This is a poem I wrote a while back ago. Hope you like it . Again, I wrote this years ago, the tempo might be a bit hard to follow:



Here I am, stuck in the deep depths of misery
As I lie here with a handful of doubts
Though my life seems like a novel of mystery
I know I’m being chased with a number of sounds
My life once used to be meaningful
As I remember all the prosperity I had through my tremendous wealth
My wife and I were deeply soulful

For having the love for our family all to ourselves
I had a very fortunate life
and a humungous home
And I lived every day in fame
But soon enough I’ll wind up alone
And nobody would remember my name
It started out as a beautiful day
As I prepared to ride home to the love of my family
But I noticed someone who did not look okay
Such as a lost soul who seemed very empty
I approached him with a great amount of sorrow
He asked for spare change, looked as lonely as can be
As he looked at me with a large, depressed groan
Ash surrounding his body, his skin damaged I could see
His clothes were very ragged, except for this jacket
This nice, brown and clean coat

He said he was digging furiously for food when he found it
But still had a sad face and his clothes were soaked
I spared him a fifty, and his spirit shined
As a return, he offered his jacket
I said I would not take it, it was not mine
But he started limping away, like he got in a brutal accident
I soon found out I made a huge mistake
I should not have taken it
And now I live in tears
I heard a loud siren exploding in my ears
Cops surrounding me, in a scene of confusion
Grabbed the jacket, and thought I was dreamin’
Took out a truckload of jewels and cash
The man framed me, despite my courtesy and generosity
The cops pinned me in the car, stuck in the dash
And threw me in a cell, for a year of pity

As the long, extremely tiring year had passed
I tried to find my wife and family with a desperate search
But when I found them, the door to my life had latched
As I saw them with another man by a nearby perch
My life has fallen apart, my wealth and love has vanished
As I lie hear, thinking this is destiny
Thinking it was my fault, something I must’ve missed
But now I am with the spirits of many
Hopping that a little mist of rain falls upon me
Thinking it is a heartbreaking dream, and I will wake up to be
The man that was prosperous in many ways
But now I shed my tears and count the days
I used to be loved, and people gave me respect
But now my life is nothing, I have nothing left.

Kill the man who did that to him!!
Oh, and it said 'you' didn't take it at first.
