#54

I realized truth
With a night of conversing
With an open ear

#53

A night of tranquility,
A glass of bourbon,
The warmth of wax

I found a new love,
Her name is Josie,
I found a new love,
She spins slowly for me.

#52

I clicked around aimlessly for hours,
Distracting myself
I clicked around for hours more,
Before I could hold back no longer

Things were said,
We didn't mean any of it
We're just two frustrated people

I laid down for bed,
Tears in my eyes
I never wanted this
Where did the good go?

They always had their priorities straight, a shot of whiskey and a six pack above all else, if they were drunk enough than nothing else mattered. They would have forgotten to eat if sharp pangs hadn't reminded them on occasion.

#51

A quiet panic never shown
Important lessons never learned
How would you have known
You were always on your own.

#50

And you weren't invited to my breakdown
But you were surely the only one to attend
I was able to contain my insanity
Simply for a public facade
When we both knew I was gone

Apparition! You are the ghost
My memories and dreams haunt me
You're the starring role
I've found myself hiding in the dark
Soon to be swallowed into the hole

Self medicated went nowhere
Unmedicated gave me more illusions
Sifting through the papers in the dark
I can't see you've said, you can't see me scream
I don't need to see, I know these verses so well
