A Drink My Drink

(Image Source: http://ermiliablog.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/picture-it-write-24/)

a drink, my drink

o' let me sink

I can't write tonight

'cause words don't blink

perfect in purple

and a lime of green

a drink, o' drink

satiate my thirst, now so keen

a barrage of doubts

creep in my den

maggots and roaches

grab hold of my pen

I lay down in the basket

truth seems so insane

dusts trap me in its web

and tears start to rain

I taste of memories and prison alike

hunted by the wolves, and thunder-strike

I know not my name, shit, am ashamed

racing away to nowhere, on once faithful bike

peace and sorrow

hand in hand

is this my destiny

but, wait, am yet to land

a drink, my drink

o let me sink

I ain't talking tonight

'cause words never think
