-

With the last glass in my left hand
I’m not as broken as I used to be.
The crickets are singing a lullaby just for me.
With the crown royal up in my head
I’m dancing for the faces under my bed.
Give me time to explain it to myself
Before I try to make sense to anyone else.

Be good to me, be patient,
Don’t hurt me, don’t choke me,
Because I’m alive,
Much more, than I used to be.

The crown royal is fading,
The air is tight; the floor is stiff.
One last kiss as the memories
Slip away from my fingertips.

I think I understand now.
