Legacy

 Tick - Tick -Tick - Tick

Midnight movie and I sit alone

Watching to forget that there's no one at home.

I'm all right on most days, but this one's been hell.

Margaritas and misery are all I have to tell.

This week brought nothing but one more ghosted text

and one more person to use me then on to the next.

It's the legacy of a modern generation,

costly and without warranty.

Cold nights spent wishing

that there was someone lying next to me.

Is it the fear that keeps us at bay

and unwilling to share our hearts?

Or something that cuts much deeper

and forever keeps us apart?

Social affairs are certain death, with everyone asking about a date.

Now going out to parties is something that I've learned to hate.

Self service is something of an art now that it's become the norm.

But it takes more than your own body to keep the nights safe and warm.

Every day the rut gets bigger and the battle with myself continues to be fought.

I fear I'm falling into an abyss and that the end will come leaving it all for naut.

This is the legacy of a modern generation

lonely and bereft of scope.

Petty relationships and painful abuse

leaving me unable to cope.

Please don't let me end up this way

with a heart of stone gasping for air.

I've got a wounded psyche and a broken heart

that I'd still ne willing to share.
