The Lonely Tears of a Drunk

She drinks herself to sleep at night
It's the only way she'll sleep sound tonight
She's lonely
But no one cares

She cries herself to sleep at night
She'll sleep alone again tonight
But
She'll dream of him again

She dreams of days
Better days
When life could smile
And pity was just a word

Yes, tonight the liqour
Will quiet her soul
And her love will cry
Until her body sleeps

But she'll wake
To deathly quiet
And a broken memory
Of a giggle

The giggle experienced by lovers

Lovers unbroken
Lovers unharmed
Lovers who lie together

An angel dying in the stench of a drunk
