Madness

Bottled beer,
couch for a bed.

Neon signs,
blinking in red.

My heart is heavy,
with shadows cast.

My head hangs low,
with thoughts of the past.

The sun does shine,
warming the heart of another.

Dreaming of the image,
of a long, lost lover.

Time and times,
have taken their toll.

Overwhelming feelings,
of sadness and woe.

My head rings loud,
with thoughts of madness.

But in my heart,
there's only sadness.
