It's late and I don't know why I am writing,
What demons am I fighting?
The mourning of a past,
Filled with "regrets and gratitude",
And a dance never asked,
Another drink to pass the time,
Another cigarette to fill an empty line,
Drummers that don't have anything to say,
And singers filled with too much nostalgia,
I can't shake it,
What else is there but another cart to gather,
Making sense like a shampoo that doesn't lather,
Try to be the former and less the latter,
No sense.
Do you notice? Timing so perfect,
Is it just me? Memories seem to reflect,
Are you trying not to see? Obvious signs,
Or am I just wrong? Happens sometimes.

I could be over thinking, I do it a lot,
Ever notice at all? Give a second thought?
I wonder what I don't know, might have more clues,
Is it just coincidence? Or maybe signs, I confuse?

I definitely notice, a change in one way or another,
Which emotion do I sense? I want to see you guess,
What am I asking now? Do you know what I ponder?
Are you blind, or me? Never mind, I digress...
**** or bullet, Which for my brain?
Get high? Or die? Which will end the pain?
You can tell by the title, and the poem's existence,
Which one of these I chose in this instance,
But I see this choice, every day, when I try to escape,
I smoke for now, evade that way, but there is no escape.
