One Tear Tonic
By Lab Rat
I've seen music, with my own eyes
Dancing hallucinations, with rhythm
The backbeat of a heart in reprise
Thumping mechanical, smokey strum
The warm smooth burn of my oldest friend
Truest friend
Drifting me off to bliss
To oblivion
To memory
Felt like someone prayed for me
Somewhere stuck inside my brain
Gentle in my emotions when eyelids dip
Staring blank at white noise on the tv
The gentle drop of condensations drip
Tumbler in my hand, the clink of ice adding to the cacophony of static
It feels like late summer's about to slip
The slouch of my posture, sinking me into the chair's cushion
Like confessions to the upholstery
I lament without words
Just a single gleam
Glistening and streaming
A single tear splashes down my cheek
Its like dancing

Nothing like a bit of whiskey (I assume) to comfort those illusions of what once was ... truly intoxicating are the words weaved into such a lament ... Excellent;)

Your words always have a way of crawling under the skin. They are glimpses behind the curtain. Course could have just rattled this off like it was nothing. Words are like breathing to you. It's just natural.
