<p>the bottles, the empty bottles…</p> <p> </p> <p>‘at 2am’</p> <p> </p> <p>i&#39;ll put this as succinctly as i can: </p> <p>you treat me like shit.</p> <p> </p> <p>disguise your shortcomings if you must </p> <p>(and you must)</p> <p>preach the honor of your duty</p> <p>(i no longer listen) </p> <p>the only role i have ever asked</p> <p>is that you actually see me</p> <p> </p> <p>instead you have left me wayward</p> <p>twisting in restless sleep </p> <p>drowning in bottles;</p> <p> </p> <p>i am not above saying</p> <p>i have failed. </p> <p><br></p> <p>#barflypoet</p> <p>#josephapinto</p> <p>www.josephpinto.com</p> <p>© Copyright Joseph A.
