Nirvana ..

night after night
monotonous verse
inspired by true genius
repetition being its only curse

he stood under the bright light
losing himself in its glow
his performance was inspired
his boredom did not show

he played out of love
a love that faded away
it felt like drudgery
to hold his guitar each day

he thought not about the connection
which had drawn him to the song
such power drowned into emotion
now he was just playing along

he was praised like a god
his presence making jaws drop
when he took to the stage
a million hearts would stop

yet he was far away
craving secluded space
he looked at the cold barrel
a chance to leave this place

he'd given enough to the world
now he'd give them distance
he scribbled down a note
with a sense of darkened persistence

joy had deserted him
fame had broken him
all that was left
was a future that was grim

high on drugs
but still thinking straight
he took the gun
and realised , this was fate

peacefully floating ,
through the white abyss
he felt nothing except contentment
finally he had attained true bliss

here Cobain was just a word
no different from the next
he left us all behind
completely and totally vexed ..
