Another Drip Another Drop

Another drip another drop pain filled nights will never stop water stained ceilings and warped baseboard rot bubble up slowly from an oversized pot Red tired eyes stare off into promised lands staving off dreams erased with life's demands time precious time ticking ever slower rewinds in my mind things I failed to show her Guilt or remorse but of course that chapter closes fear is it fear or is it what society imposes mistaken for granted taken forever lost the past too fast to abstain the pain achingly it lasts
