Draining Vices

Amidst the glitz & glamour,

Amidst the friends & constant laughter,

Amidst the new circles and glasses clinking,

Amidst the uprising fame & singing,

Is a constant Pang, once the mist is gone.

Of uncertainty, of escapism brought down and of change.

It's a post-mist depression, a W-shaped plot-line.

Vices take me. I should fight back. Yet i'm

Drained

Today is the 18th of September

exactly 4 and a half years from March 18th 2006.

Mourn the end of an era.

Burn. Heart. Aches.

Rains. Eyes. Soulless.

Chances are choices.

Have a little faith, dream

A little dream, breathe

A little while, take

A journey...

Yet, value what's lost, hold

A little closer, cherish

A little more, feel

Our hearts as one, again.

Chances are, we

Never really know, what

To expect, what

Outcomes revealed, and

That is a risk, and

Those are my choices.
