still in bed, sick and old
aging with time
looking for pleasures no more
just thirst for care
at night they’re feeling tired
but just can’t sleep
there’s no cry of pain
the pain is just kept within
seems nothing is left for the old
or nothing at all
dark visions and loss hearing
and poor sense of touch
no more sense of belonging
no one dares to care
