He sits alone
A man and his thoughts
Sharing a drink with his anger
A cold, empty stare
Even in its blankness; it was lethal
Drowning the self imbued hatred
Notes scattered in a bitter collection
Thoughts trying to make sense of the mess
Only to be overcome with madness
Desperate to find an answer
To the question he’s too afraid to ask
It's best I sit alone
Just some whiskey and a cigarette

So, this is what rock bottom looks like?
A fist clenches in spite
Wearing the clothing of pride
It gives that decorated sense
A sense of an falsified authority
A fire that burns
Yet no fuel is required
Just bury the thoughts
Forgetting what burns inside of me
Lost within a moment
A moment of my biggest regret
Trading tragedy for intoxication
Just some whiskey and a cigarette

How do you only hear a whisper
When all I do is scream?
Stop it, don't bother now
These wounds will heal on their own
Besides, I’d never remove these scars
I take them as a simple reminder
Of a path to never walk again
Idolized, by quiet cries
Tossed out into the world
Grasping for hope
With a smile that’s just for the audience
I no longer feel the warmth of the sun
It’s mistaken for the burning of the razor
Just leave me be
Just some whiskey and a cigarette

I believed I once grew up for a purpose
Living with all those futile dreams
And caught in frost bitten embraces
I understood nothing
Even though, I thought I knew it all
As we all begin to line our caskets
Red ribbons, and flowers we despise
Did you ever have so much sadness built within
That even your shadow began to cry?
Alas, even that puddle formed from tears
Resembles that dark and twisted smile
The one my demons bare
It's a pain I find often
But primarily in memories
So let me forget
With some whiskey and a cigarette

You can no longer find
A defiance resting within this eyes
I've given up on the machine
As the hatred consumes
With an explosion shock of pain
So large, it could literally consume the world
It’s truly a shame
A pity really
We all just want to be saved
But I'm done waiting
Sick of hiding in the shade
I'll see you in the after life
I'm done waiting for my hero
So come find me
Waiting beneath my tree
All I'll have on me
Just some whiskey and a cigarette

..also with this write of yours, it very much resonates with someone I take care off with Dementia (alcohol) who is 80+..Smokes like a proverbial chimney, and although alcohol free for over 6yrs, in his state of Dementia, he will always say 'give me a whiskey and my smokes, and I'll be right love..'

Edited because it doesn't matter that noone else replies, if you check out how many viewed it, then you know that many did read it..:wink:

Thinking on it...
It's ironic I chose whiskey, because I don't actually drink it...

Weird..

You're welcome.
I write stuff, more like this, when I'm in 'that mood'..
So, I guess it's more for me..
But if someone can relate..
Then I love doing it for others too.
