No Going Back

No Going Back

A Poem by Frank Purcell
"

We lost what we had.

"
Curled up on my bed, like a dead armadillo
Blood red eyes, tear stains on my pillow
My only good friend, a bottle of Jack
Cause we lost what we had, and it'll never be back!

Day after day, and night after night
I lose more of my will, to go on and fight
Corrupting memories of loves first kiss
Yeah those moments of bliss, r the moments i miss

But i keep going, waiting for Gods kind hand
My broken-voiced prayers make him understand
I keep on living, for how long, who knows?
So this is my life now, and thats how it Goes

Wake up in the morning, have half a bottle of Cane
Then sleep, wake at lunch, and just do it again
Wait for night, but no Cane, so just go back
To the only warmth in my life; a bottle of Jack

All these obvious things, that im told to do
"Move on, Try hard, Theres others out there for you"
But i know, and Ive seen, And ive even compared
And what ive seen has only made me more damn scared

I wont be like a hobo, digging in dirt
Looking for someone to mend my hurt??
F**k that s**t, all i got left is my pride
If i come out at all, still got my head held high

Cause not ONE person comes close enough to compete
And THATS why i just go on, dragging my feet
So im done tryna replace, just goto accept
No b***h can fill this gap <3 no disrespect.
