the house next door makes me
sad.
both man and wife rise early and
go to work.
they arrive home in early evening.
they have a young boy and a girl.
by 9 p.m. all the lights in the house
are out.
the next morning both man and
wife rise early again and go to
work.
they return in early evening.
By 9 p.m. all the lights are
out.

the house next door makes me
sad.
the people are nice people, I
like them.

but I feel them drowning.
and I can't save them.

they are surviving.
they are not
homeless.

but the price is
terrible.

sometimes during the day
I will look at the house
and the house will look at
me
and the house will
weep, yes, it does, I
feel it.

I stay awake and I pray
For the mess I became
Urging gods to erase
The mistakes that I’ve made
Craving poisons everyday
To forget all my pains


I know im fighting
A war against these monsters….
A long lost battle
To the demons in this bottle
One that only I will mourn
In this building hollow
Where my sorrows follow

In silence I lay
These tears I’m fearing
So I pray to forget
The regrets that I’m feeling
The poison I crave it keeps on creeping
So I cave and I pray
Yet this pain it remains

I know im fighting
A war against these monsters….
A long lost battle
To the demons in this bottle
One that only I will mourn
In this building hollow
Where my sorrows follow

i'm sorry for being this
inconsequential
interruption
in your life.
