To the Brim- For My Contest
'He fills his glass up to the brim'
She knows what happens when he drinks
He's in an ocean and cant swim
The more he drinks the more he sinks
She watches sadly as once more
He fills his glass up to the brim
She's heard it many times before
These "matchbook songs and gypsy hymns"
His sad "eyes, where the moonlight swims"
Never saw she had left that morn
He fills his glass up to the brim
All that he had left is now gone
He stumbles outside, a sad sight
His "silhouette when sunlight dims"
Cast sad shadows in dying light
He fills his glass, up to the brim
