A QUIET CHANGE OF HEART

I am a little intoxicated tonight,

Subdued in spirits I am.

Sadness has left me long ago,

A certain sombre emptiness has taken its place.

I am quite bemused,

Surprised I am by this uninvited numbness.

I have not seen the daylight in days,

In the dungeons of my darkness I have stayed.

Yet I am satisfied,

For having felt more than ever before.

The devils of idleness has taken its course,

My blood has turned sour.

No soothing touch to cure me of my loneliness,

Here I am in loathsome yet whole.

The scars on my hands have long faded,

Just mirages of sadness adorn it’s place.

With the lilt of ol’ Chuck, my sole company;

Here I am sipping on stale whiskey.

Lost in this room as months turned to years,

I lay here, still. Happily forgotten, blissfully my own.
