Everything Burns

Just for tonight
i rather not write
i rather sit here and drink
and tomorrow
i'll wake up
and everything will be the same
just as i left it
because
people
and objects
do not change
he who left you behind yesterday
will leave you behind ten years from now
i enjoy this way too much
i see moves
before moves are made
it's no wonder
i get bored
and stare at my shoelaces
wondering if god exist
watching me suck on this rum
everything burns
the nights flame with fire
and the glow through my window
cast shadows on my dying plants
and the wicker grows sorry with every plaque
every trophy
that paces across this room
i've detached myself
from everything not worth losing
and attached myself
to the good things that withstand
the test
the time
the decay
of life
i'm okay
but you
i don't think so
