No Chance

Friends we are much more I yern for us to be. I take to silence cause its not him. That I was ever ment to to be. A barfly wasnt ever ment to see the light. I'll bury my emotions . So no one will ever catch sight. Drown like a coward in this bottle of booze. And ignore the impulse. For its not in my nature to use. speaking whats on my mind. Isnt worth leaving you behind. I cannot speak these words to your face. but you bring warmth to my life. And take away the emptyness from this dismal place. If only I was a painter then i could show you clear. That I am empty without you here. Am i the fool or just a pawn just a worn out fighter in a all to ready stance. Dont need a fotune teller to know I have no chance.
