Never too high,
sometimes too low.
Never enough whiskey,
not enough blow.
Women flock close,
aiming to please.
draining the substance,
greatest of ease.
New found friends,
come and go.
When to bail,
they instinctively know.
When holding, there’s
always a crowd.
When you’re dry,
just dark clouds.
Drunk by day
and by night.
Reality is fading
losing the fight.
Place now chilled,
to the bone.
Phone is ringing,
better off alone.
