Red brown cheeks and big smile
a complexion that beamed love
you were a hero my hero
a mother and a friend
For years you had us all on your back
As time flew by there was a change
Once everyone starts leaving
I'm already hunched over the toilet vomiting and dry-heaving
I'll call him to come back once his wife goes to sleep
I know that he's never someone I can keep
Among my friends
laughing and having a good time.
Neon sign lights reflected on my skin.
You don't realize you are alone
in the middle of a crowd.
You don't realize you are alone
come to my lair, my store
in exchange for your savings
i can satisfy cravings.
if i stop to consider your health and your wealth,
a bitter transaction ensues.
you look for'd to your high
You show up
Blowing smoke rings
And making light in the dark
Like my all-knowing caterpillar,
Full
Of intelligent euphemisms
Cleverly
I entered college with dreams of opening my own gym
Dreams of making others healthy
Dreams of creating athletes
Dreams of changing lives for the better
Then I stumbled upon a video
The winter is cold, as am I
My heart is frozen and I want to die
Thoughts racing, my options clear
Learn sobriety or waste another year
I miss the highs of my mind, and my H lows
Woke up this morning sweating
Laying in a wet spot
The heat must be on high
Cause this house is freakin hot
I look out the window
The sky is dark and grey
I drank a lot last night
“I fought in Vietnam.
Watched my men lay down their guns.
Watched the life of my old buddy, Red, drain from his eyes.
I heard the cries of a widowed wife,
as I told her, her husband died.
