CARING FOR HER
An empty
glass
A dry
throat
A
disheartened soul
An empty
glass
A dry
throat
A
disheartened soul
I've had
a lot to drink
If I
wasn't this drink
I'd say
that I've lived too long.
I've
become untreatable
Caring for
her is all that is left
I've
become untreatable
Caring for
her is all that is left
I live for
a moment
Yet I die
every moment I live.
