Why Did They Take You.

poem by: Tom Shore
Written on May 03, 2016 

I sat lonely, in some dark corner
As though I was an old, widowed, mourner.
Time moved slow.
Life in front of me was a simple glow,
Of some distant memory
Where you sat so near, 
Or that tuneful melody
I'd always hear.

The song was gone.
And, so were you.
I didn't belong
In this world so blue
Or a place that existed,
Without you.
My mind was misted.
Unclear on how to think, 
But life got better
with the more I'd drink.

Drink turned to violence
and violence, to hate.
An emotion so powerful
And one, so great.
I set out for the day
With cold knife of fate.
Looking for that place
That would finally make,
A perfect setting for the pain to stop
And to be reborn, through one, swift chop.

Lovely poem.2 points that stick out to me 2 tradergies some one who is no longer in one's life. And how drink can play tricks on one's mind. A very honest poem.
