With haggard face and sunken eyes
Skin tinged with yellow ain’t no surprise
The long lonely nights of drunken haze
A neglected marriage on mind it weighs
The resonating sound of indeterminable fear
Mind immersed in depths, shed a single tear
Haunted by nightmares and a lack of sleep
Life spiraling towards a place dark and deep
