A Troubled Mind
At the very listening post
I made a pause, reminiscing the great times
We had at that very same post
Took a break from the beat of this remorseless life
We exchanged whispers and,
Only wished they were vows
At that time, my life left at ease
Nearly shed a tear upon her sight
Loneliness is a scornful pain
It hurts and mocks
Just half of it
Would make you beg for even the worst company
That’s why the lonely coward sticks to the bottle
Anyway, that’s how absurd life can get
Laugh a little, smile a bit,
Lie all the way to the top
For life doesn’t get any better for lonely people
You could lose your soul to the wandering smoky dust
Have your heart drilled out of your untrimmed chest
But without her, loneliness is a limitless event
With a high odd of hitting you
I can’t stop but think of you
Am stuck wandering what’s next
Now that she is only an old flame
