the burning never stops,
as the pain gets even worse.
The liquid fained that it all is.
Provoking the heartache
to renew the licence
a fragile capsule am i,
Of bleeding heart and shawls of made up lies.
the baptism was real, or so i thought
as real as my words sought out to you.
but then again...
As these tears flow down,
As the vodka cools my temper.
I thought i was already in hell,
But then i met you.
you left me for another,
leaving me here to die.
the isolation of your word
left an empty void.
"just grow up"
is what you said
but i don't know how.
Isolation is my only refuge.
Author notes
Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a black-heath cell
Extinguishing the fires in a private hell
Provoking the heartache to renew the licence
of a bleeding heart poet in a fragile capsule
propping up the crust in the glitter conscience
wrapped in the christening shawl of a hangover
and baptized in tears from the real
lyrics are by Fish from the song Fugazi by the band Marillion

WOW
Lost within ones on pain isolation soon sets in. Thoughts of nothingness rules the mind until the hope of a smile is all gone...looking down the neck of a vodka bottle left with a empty void of loneliness...sighs...really emotional and a excellent write
thank you kindly for sharing it with me
