What I hide Inside ©©

Here I sit far down this long road

Alone and tired, glass in hand

Once it was full of courage

Now it drowns the pain 

Everyone is gone but I’m still here

You don’t know what I hide inside

Silence is the air the that I breath

You see what I carry on the outside

Every sip dries the tears I deny

Every drink blurs all the faces

Some left to soon others not soon enough

I raise a glass to the shadows that haunt my mind

Where have those who witness my life gone

The laughter, the songs we sang

The friends I would walk though hell for

Brothers and sisters to the bitter end

A picture in a frame on the wall 

There’s a woman, a man standing tall

They are no more yet the picture is still here

I try to remember what it was like when they were all still here 

Whiskey and beer is all that remains

The crowd slowly disappears into time

Their dreams left for me to lay to rest

Cheers one more time my friends, Mon and Dad
