Waiting
May 15, 2014
He downed another shot of whiskey and sighed
As the clock ticked on
And all he heard and felt was time
All other feelings gone
He took another drag and cried
As his hair faded grey
And all he tasted and saw were lies
All he needed had flown away
He popped another pill with his hands tied
As he waited and withered
And all he knew was goodbye
All of his heart had left with her
