Some how ……
I got drunk tonight.
And all my regrets, came to visit !
And, they weren’t …..kind.
Maybe not, tomorrow ……?
Mayhap Kind words.
Will be also, kind thoughts.
Love stories, only …….happen.
In books,
In movies …..
And to other people.
But not me.
Once, death held no fear.
And failing,
was never…… an option.
Love, was a momentary thing.
For drunken trysts , and soon forgotten,
women.
Then I got old.
And fear crept back in.
Of rejection, of dying alone.
I may cry
And no one will ever know
Why
Not even you
