A drop of poison flood his thoughts,
a loaded gun full of shots.
Only hope will erase the fear,
a drowning wind he will never hear.
The pain is dulled by a dark deception,
a heavy fog blinds his perception.
The day goes by as nights disappear,
jagged tears fall another year.
An empty bottle heeds no soul,
a tattered heart not near full.
Hoping a morning light to shine,
without the need to grip the wine.
