Searching the digital screen. Just a word to get you by

This night alone. Will the message come through again?

You take another pill. This life is standing still

You don’t exist tonight

Tomorrow will be the same old thing

Calls on the phone, and stories of drinking all night

Consumed by one addiction

Each second suffering. You wait there by the door

Minutes pass you by. Each second suffering

You’re anticipating. No longer waiting

You walk into the room. To see it’s true

What has it done to you?

You come into work a mess

Insomnia, entraps you countless times

The sun is blinding

Somehow you struggle through. With agony

You take another pill

Watching the clock count down

Signing on again with no response

You’ve given into the game
