I saw you sitting at the bar

Drowning in that gin and tonic

Dressed in darkness

What’s you secret pain?

Eyes rimmed in darkest kohl

Skin as pale a moon drenched milk

Why so sad little flower?

Lips quivering with hidden rage

Mouth as red as fresh clotted blood

Arms scarred with marks of self destruction

What demons are you releasing?

You wear shadows like a cloak

Melancholy writhes around you like smoke

Who injured your soul so deep?

Alone you sit in your anger

Drinking to dull the pain

You destroyed your ability to feel joy?

Soulless wanderer in the darkened world

Craving death at every turn

Is you life so bad?
