Sitting Here... (Lento)

by Dreamofolwin   Aug 14, 2009


Sitting here, watching the world go by.
Hitting this bottle again tonight.
Sipping its venom, till it runs dry.
Belittling this poison and its plight.

Numb, my heart hears church bells chime.
Come they say, and you will see.
Some inner voice say's "It is time...
Succumb, and let me satisfy thee."

    This was a great write with a great message, the way I see it is this person sins then confesses and realize they have done the wrong thing. By letting the world pass them by and making the bad decision. Anyways .. you did great with this, it holds meaning and a message for all to read. Well done.
