Last Call For Alcohol ~Ottava Rima

Folder: 
Diff. Styles

Somewhere teardrops drizzle from places unknown

Bottoms of glasses, empty never finding

Torture, loneliness, fear, his emotions shown

A demon stricken soul finding no binding

Hopes and dreams of better days out windows flown

Jumping from reality with drinks blinding

Outside the windows tend to fog more quickly

Inside dreams tend to fade a death so sickly.



Bottoms of bottles clink in darkened trash bags

Fears hand secrets to smiles in passing strangers

Ticking clocks in backgrounds as our timing lags

Contemplating nothing of liquid dangers

Down streets strolling dismal shadow puppet rags

To love one bleeding deeply only angers

Crawling into glass houses, prices seem small

Losing all to hear "Last call for alcohol".
