Whiskey LullabyA Poem by Aleksandar KuzeljevicSitting in an empty room with nothing but walls Looking down the floor alone with my toughts Walls so dry, air so sour, I need to recover From rusted memories and grimm soul Pictures of nothing are hanging off the wall Trying to fill them without a purpose or a goal I can’t look up to find a meaning To find the key to open the door Suddenly I hear the knocking “Are you still there my dear friend? I came for you no need to stand I hold the key, your life came to an end” Maybe thats my purpose to leave this room Room that became my only world Dark, meaningless and apsurd “Open the door and free me, Break this knot and leave me” Door opened and cold air surrounded me Chilled to the bone, it blinded me There I said to him “ You found me” He just stood there and smiled at me I finnaly left the room with a smile on my face I flew from there and saw an empty space There I was covered in mud and stains It was the end of my worthless race I drank myself to death Alcohol became my only friend Now I can say to myself goodbye The only song I sang was whiskey lullaby
