Pick Your Poison

There’s a million bottles on the floor separating me and you. So, this is your choice huh? Take a swig, set yourself low. So low, you can’t feel now? So low, you can’t see now? So low you can’t hear me now? So low, I don’t even know you now. You know all about the monsters but your too naiveté to see the ones snapping at you in the face. They have you in their sights their jaws are almost on you. The bottles between us; I slip on the liquor on the floor I won’t be able to get to you this time, I won’t be able to save you this time. You’re slipping down the bottle, a stranger meets my eyes. So low, you can’t feel me now. So low you can’t see me now. So low you can’t hear me now. So low, I don’t even know you now.

Smile ~ Well, speaking for myself personally "Dear, Lovely & Precious Madison Thomer," my life is in "My Heavenly Fathers Hands" &, if it is ever "His Will" that I should change my vestures then, "BEAUTIFUL!!!" ~ Again, I love the deepened profoundness of "Your Beautiful Soul" &, worry not for "Your Precious Heart" for, time shall hold "Your Beauties" hand & fill "Your Priceless Eyes" with its brightened glow ~ "My Love to You & Yours Always," John!:) ~
