Back to living room

trying to get the picture

of the passed out man I love

with his face down

on the kitchen counter

out of my head

Instead, one more trip

Crying, Ranting, Screaming, Pleading

Still no one listening

off to bedroom

lock the door

vision still on my mind

One more trip

Crying, Ranting, Screaming, Pleading

back to bedroom

this time on my knees

chanting...

God Grant me the Serenity

to accept the things I cannot change

the courage to change the things I can

and the wisdom to know the difference

over and over

over and over

sleep over comes me

and awake to a new day.
