Poetry: Wounded

Wounded to the core, feeling pain in every bone

He sat in the corner bar, though he preferred to drink alone

He drowned his heartache in liquor of all sorts

Vodka and whiskey, gin and tonic, various beers and ports

His pain is undefinable, it runs like blood through his veins

You see nothing of the man he once was when you look at who remains

His soul feels empty, all the joy has gone, not a flicker of hope to be found

And so he plans to drink his life away, until he ends up in the ground

    The blood rushing,rising
    above the noisy din.

    I can still see you, standing in the sun,
    Hands on your hips, giving me that grin.
