I'm sitting here wasted, <br />Just playing my song, <br />Im broken in peices, <br />Please sing along. <br />Ive drunk too much bourbon, <br />But I lack a care, <br />Im sitting here crying, <br />Just bring me a beer. <br />Ive melted to sober, <br />Then worked my way up, <br />Ive cried for a living, <br />And I cant give it up. <br />Bring me a whiskey, <br />And tell me your tale, <br />Are you running from something, <br />You look rather frail. <br />The piano will play you, <br />Not a tune to forget, <br />Just dissolve in its treatment, <br />Dont be upset. <br />We can last forever, <br />In this most pathetic way, <br />Ill play the broken melody, <br />And you can sing the pain.<br /><br />Chelsea Hansford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ol-bourbon-blues/
