Pneumonia

I’m drinking whiskey 
In the cold
Kiss me and perhaps
I may grow old
Until then
I’m drinking 
Whiskey in the cold

Perhaps 
I will never know you
Well I guess 
We were granted 
The benefit 
Of becoming acquainted
Enduring the shadows 
That mirror 
Our pictures painted
An expedition
One for all
Yet we remain tainted
How far shall we go
To resume these precious
Elements of snow
My ode to Colorado
I miss you 
And you aren’t gone 
I miss you 
And I’m the one 
Who left home
So I miss you

Yet here I am 
Drinking whiskey 
In the cold
Do you miss me 
Perhaps, together
We’ll grow old
Don’t leave me here
Drinking whiskey 
In the cold
