the day after
falling down and out the door
wake in the morning and
you're lying on the floor
your head is aching
but you can't remember what for
but no sense makes sense
and it doesn't matter any more
demons haunt you in the night
thoughts of passing times
and things that didn't go right
you sink in deeper as you try to fight
surrender to yourself
close the door
turn out the light
