You have your will,
your demons that pass,
forever you shall ride
that haunting you must have.
Of desperate streets
that lend a sacred view
of nights enjoyed
with drunken eyes askewed.
To the lane you shall
always call your home,
of presents taking
you fill your soul with now.
At 23, you were used
and allowed your trip to wane,
the trip that follows you
is the one who new your name.
Did she bless you for you patience
or simply laugh at your will.
Did she crumple your foolishness
like those before you fell.
So here you stand
on your corner throne,
twenty cents left to go
for the Night Train you could own.
And this night that gives you
your solitary pain,
is the night that will haunt you,
from this day foward again.

very true indeed a message is here for all. I myself indulged to the point where I did not remember what happened. Alcoholism is a easy way out. So easy to be excepted with it. I myself know I can not drink IS a poison to my soul,mind and body.

So here you stand
on your corner throne
twenty cents left to go.
I particularly like these lines.
Be well
