For Uncle Max

He tries so hard
To hide the pain
From those he loves
What can they gain?
From knowing truth
Their hearts will break
There’s no hope left
Their love’s at stake
He’s already lost
This game he’s in
He’s walked away
He’s dropped the pin
Nothing he says
Can stop the pain
Nothing he does
Can get him off this train
Headed straight for Hell
He is on his way
Unless you tell him
What you want to say…
