THE BAR IS CLOSING
Terrence Sanders
Last dance, bar is closing.
Water’s up to her neck,
how much longer can she hold on?
Afraid to fall asleep,
where will she awake?
Lived a simple life,
consumed by bad decisions.
Listening to Satchmo,
sipping on air.
Falling deeper,
drifting under lucid spell.
She can’t go any further.
Her will to survive is diminishing.
One day she’ll forgive,
wishing she could go back,
to the way it was.
