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
