Rejected Poem by James Casey

Rejected

So this is how, it is to end
Alcohol now, my only friend

Why should I, pretend?
I know, I will never mend

Drinking myself, to sleep
I think, I'm in a little deep

What's left of me, they'll sweep
Crawl into nothing, without a peep

So cold, and all alone
Feels like, I've broken every bone

The sharpest pain, couldn't hone
Without you there's nothing, all alone

Without you, I will surely die
The only one, that could make me cry

Why did you, have to lie?
You never loved me, did you even try

Don't know why, I woke up today
I wonder why, you had to stray

All alone, it looks all gray
I guess I was here, for you to betray

I'm really sorry, I got in the way
Don't worry I won't be seen, after today
