A suitable death

The glory had faded
His charm receded
He had outlived his life 
Weakened sensibilities
Left not much for him to do 
His weak frail body
Unable to move 
He was lost and forgotten 
 He could perform no more
Many referred to him by mistake
Literally as a figure of yore
The best that he was fit for 
Was a great obituary
But with all his being consumed 
Nothing left behind
Could he not exist in
A remote corner of his mind 
 Could he?

"It's better to burn out than to fade away" - Kurt Cobain
