Numb

Green eyes, shaggy hair
Split up lips that gasp for air 
Twenty beers and a lawn chair

Mother left, brother died
Doesn't know where he'll sleep tonight
Twenty beers on ice

The sharp whistle of a train
Brings to mind his bro again
His little bro, his best friend

At night he's gone 
No sign till dawn
Just Twenty empty bottles on the lawn

    yes, I can really sense the "numbness" to this one. You really captured that tone so well, love the image of the 20 beers on the lawn. I know people who numb themselves this way. many in society. How nice to see some of your work.
