Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Space Cowboy (Listen!)

In the end you get tired of struggling 
To keep everyone you love safe
Just for them to leave you in the end
Everything dies and I'm accepting this now
Can't save everyone

So to the girl with the raindrop boots
I'll leave you here on this planet of angels
One last battle the fight after this
There is no regeneration after this
I will stop running and I will die

Bang!
Everything will be over soon
There's no need for Space Cowboy now

You are definitely a songwriter Damon with the natural flow and rhythm of your work
Incidentally the title reminds of a line in a Steve Miller song the joker. was that intentional or just coincidental. Either way a natty title for a super poem
Nice one

Dying isn't so bad, it's the only true victory for after death there is no burden, no commitments, you are completely free for once, free to sleep
