Last Orders
There’s a pressure on my chest,
And I put it there,
Soon I’ll clutch my heart and wonder,

And it’s limiting my days,
Soon I’ll fold to ground so slowly,
And they’ll all avert thier gaze.
Of course, I’m gone and sorry now,

And on my grave they vandalized,
“Well, we told you so”.

Drink spilling
Leaving trails of heartache
How many times
Do you watch them fall
