Ticking time bomb <br /> <br />Slow reminder <br /> <br />Of an internal destruction <br /> <br />Your liver cries out <br /> <br />But the beer has already <br /> <br />Gone down, not one <br /> <br />Not two, but four this time <br /> <br />The bomb keeps ticking <br /> <br />Louder to us all <br /> <br />But you have drowned it out <br /> <br />Happy hour lasts days <br /> <br />Why can't you see <br /> <br />The pain etched in our hearts <br /> <br />As we listen to the ticking <br /> <br />Of your life's time bomb<br /><br />Priya Patel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-bomb-10/
