Where are you now and where you think you're heading

Where are you now and where you think you're heading

Where are you now
That was the question you asked of yourself
More than fifty years ago
You're asking yourself the same thing now
Wow, the French were right
The more you changed, the more you remained uptight
You're back to where you were
The only thing different is you look old
Your hair gray and you're getting bald
But you're not wiser
Not at all
Two nights ago, you showed up at the airport one day late
You didn't know that until you got to the gate
It hit you then maybe you're about to get a visit from Dr. Alzheimer
This morning, the periodontist pulled out a tooth
He said solemnly, call my office if things don't go smooth 
Then she called, asking about the dental visit
You replied, I feel like shit
She burst out crying, nobody loves you, she said
Not your wives, sisters, friends and mistress
Why, Why, Roberto, Why
What did you do wrong
On and on she cried
While you continued bleeding, even now. 
Nietzsche once said, if you know the why, you'll come up with the how
Problem is: deep, deep down 
You don't know if you want to live
A woman wrote to you that she loved you 
You wrote back with a poem
But she knew she and you were just playing an Internet game
Love is easy and then it's not 
It requires much more than being hot 
Three am and you can't sleep
You're bleeding inside real deep
