I walked in and saw you sipping from a whiskey bottle. Your hand clenched round a note that read "not again" There were candles there, cigarettes in the glass you gave up on. And a rope intended to hug your neck There was something in the way you'd look past me when I said "They won't read about you this way" But they would. I'd just never want to read again.
