Through Jaded EyesI deserve it at this point,

The Vow of SobrietyBottles and glasses, left to stand,
As time slips through like grains of sand.

Never coming down
Life in the background

a glittering metallic sculpture.
It costs more than your house,
you love it more than your spouse.
You can hardly drive it, it’s too high,
you can barely park it, it’s so wide.
Like an...
