I didn't mean to get here
in this place without a map
I didn't want to do this
but now I just cant stop
another shot goes down
there is a moment suddenly
things become clearer
and you see they aren't
how they should be
there is nothing left to do
but cut your losses then
another shot goes down
though deciding to is the hardest part
now all I want to know is
where do I go from here
how do I take the next step
sometimes there are moments
that we let pass us by
and with grasping hands
we try to draw them back
another shot goes down
this time is to much
I just leave this alone
there is no more walking away
and I dont have the strength
to get up off my knees
another shot goes down
I tried to forget you
but in you there is me
and now I can't escape
and I want to be free
I'm still trying to forget you
but some how I forgot to
another shot goes down
and in the end I'm lonely
sitting in my room
staring out the window
as life is rushing by
no one left to turn to, so
another shot goes down.
still in progress

I really like your use of imagery. There is something simplistic, yet cinematic about it.
And I guess we can all empathize over those "another shot" days.

Oh So Sad
So much sad emotions with excellent imagery expressed in your poem here. Oh the feeling of no one left to turn to, so another shot goes down, this is such a horrically lonely place to be. I sure hope this isn't what you are personally going through. If this is I will pray for you my dear friend and if you need to talk I'm off and on the site. Excellent poem you penned here though. Thank you for sharing with me.
Much Love
Kelle Marie

I have to know why you wrote this poem, my friend. Your feelings are so raw and sad. The last part, about grasping our moments that we let pass by is touching. I have to know what inspired this, it moves me so much.
Be well, my dear Aubryfriend.
