On the stool A pedistal for the fool hearted Jilted and the shamed. Made out to be the villian In the drama you named "Life" On the stool, perched and poised To lift one more glass with the boys But they're not here To gaze on him On the stool Head in one hand Brew clenched hard As the few drops left Hit the sandy tongue On the stool Belly full of forgetfulness He stands To **** away his hopes Of being with you Getting accustomed to "Alone" On the stool Consuming another glass or forgotten memories Will he ever leave this place Of shame and disgrace And open the doors to face The cold yet familiar embrace Of failure and be left with the taste Of stale beer and old tobacco?

Humid air and the staleness Of cigarettes
On the stool A pedistal for the fool hearted Jilted and the shamed. Made out to be the villian In the drama you named "Life" On the stool, perched and poised To lift one more glass with the boys But they're not here To gaze on him On the stool Head in one hand Brew clenched hard As the few drops left Hit the sandy tongue On the stool Belly full of forgetfulness He stands To **** away his hopes Of being with you Getting accustomed to "Alone" On the stool Consuming another glass or forgotten memories Will he ever leave this place Of shame and disgrace And open the doors to face The cold yet familiar embrace Of failure and be left with the taste Of stale beer and old tobacco?
