City By The Sea Poem by Shane Bryan

City By The Sea



He takes a drink
From that bottle of fire
To burn away the words
That he couldn’t bring himself to tell her

He washes it down
With a glass of self pity
Broken on the ground
Wondering if he should leave this city

Wandering around
A town of memories
Every corner turned
Was a reason That he had to leave

Gathering everything
That he couldn’t bare to leave
He then grabbed his guitar
On a journey away from this city by the sea

Every reason why
They didn’t seem to matter
He began to write a song
With words that wondered if he should have done it better

The cold down in his bones
As the wind ripped through his coat
He sits tonight at that corner
Singing the only song he wrote
