Thoughts in the Night…
Shadows lurking in the night
With nightmares that have come to light.
The boogie man stands by my bed,
Assaulting me with what I dread!
Oh how outlandish are my days,
They rip apart and set ablaze
My soul as I recount my past;
Such miseries have I amassed.
My fear takes flight as night ensues;
And I deny it - lost in booze.
But alcohol’s a fickle friend;
For in its grasps I do descend…
I’ve lost my children, dog and wife;
My sour and disappointing life
Has struck with unrelenting blows;
(We all know how this story goes).
The liquor calls me ever nigh;
I go to it, don’t ask me why -
And thus an incubus holds on;
I’m gripped by fear ‘till early dawn.
My life is lonely; I’m afraid!
My only friend has since decayed
The whole of me, I’m so depressed.
My pal, the drink, has hence transgressed.
So here I lay with bitter tears,
Engulfed in chaos in my years.
I’m scared with only booze to aide;
I’m empty, feeling lost – afraid…
Yet, still I keep it in my reach;
With none to care, and none to preach.
My nightmares have now come to light,
With shadows lurking in the night…
