Mother Dear

Two am and something's gone wrong here. It looks like I have drank all my wine, "I'm so thirsty", I can't wait for tomorrow. No shame, I shall drink Listerine. Six am, this drink has me weary, I'm wasted, but my well has run dry. To the liquor store, I walk down to the corner, I'm early and it's raining but I still wait there outside. Mother dear, I am sorry I failed you, but your son has a thorn in his side. When I was young you had such expectations, intentions, were not for you to cry. Father sir, tell me why did you leave us? A coward, man you ran off to hide. I'm sorry sir that I never have met ya. But if it were now, well, you surely would die. Throughout my life I have made many wrong turns, I found my way although I cheated and lied. I hurt someone who once told me she loved me, and burnt the bridge as I left her behind. The days are long as my train travels slowly, closer, toward the end of it's line. I made my choice and stand by my decision. Denying remorse but with tears in my eyes.
