Say goodnight
And just go
Catch the midnight train
No one will be to blame
Endless dreams haunting these eyes that cry
Just say good bye
I will sing my song whilst I sit and drink
Drowning in a pool of make believe just watch me sink
Think of me as each glass I pour
The pain rises making my mind soar
Jack will be my love of the night
Till the morning light
Sweet and strong holding me helpless
And heartless
Once upon time, is no more
It all went as you walked out that door
Broken like a bottle in the middle of the road
Smashed like a dead toad
Swinging low
What a blow
Hang me high
For the buzzards cry
Leave me till the morning rise
Just close the door and say good bye
(Jack famous for his bottle neck... Jack Daniels)
Patricia, such a poignant, and yet bittersweet write. I love the poem, but if it is true, my heart and soul go out to you! Blessings, Theo

Now Jack wouldn't be going to 'Georgia' by any chance would he? Loved the imagery here. Good flow too. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
