"Stoop"

By William Bolyard

Waiting for a maybe death
Cars fly by
Rum dries up
The night was a slump
Lost a key
Nothing left to see
I finish my drink like the best
Softly wish for death
I want it to end
But I know I haven’t had enough sin
The worst is abandonment
From a woman with harsh resentment
Another man took your place
Can’t always be an ace
Life is about the balance of gambling,
What you win,
And what you’re willing to lose
