Bottle of Jim
My company this evening
Getting me through it
He feels me up as my soul goes limp
And the flow of that liquid...
...Temporary fix...
Pouring more freely as the bottle touches my lips
And I start to feel
Absolutely nothing
Absolute calm, and still
Again
I start drowning
No more hurting THAT'S surprising)
Surprised I'm still afloat
I should have been gone a long long time ago
Did you hear my screams
As it rose from my throat
Listen....
For another moment
A faint whisper
And my breath catches
And I am choking
