Alone With My Thoughts
Living alone in my trailer
With thoughts that are not my own
Not having to share a beer
Hearing no new stories
Singing no songs
I am wasted,
In more ways than one
Ask me if I care.....
My mother would switch to the blues
From country, if she saw me now
The cherry blossoms outside a dirty window
Remind me of another time
When I was clean and loved
I have no place to go but up
My mother is probably smiling from heaven
Thinking I'm okay
But I am not
I take another sip of beer
feeling a tiny bit better
