Eh, drama.
come peek upon this sight, where sin impeaches on a blight and the stench of smoke and alchohol seeps out on the night from the windows, curses float and loud whistles ring the dark night is nearly silent except the crickets sing inside Billy was loud, all grins as he's slamming a gin catches the eye of the bar-tender and puts his hand up again "havent you had enough?" the tender says to be handling him but he just grins jovially saying "ahh would ya can it?" again the panoramas pretend, soon the fun for the mans at an end and its back to his home, to the heart of the drama again stands up grandly and then... waves his hands to his friends, nodding to the proprieter sighing for...he's goin home to his wife, a regular rioter he's oft surprised by her, and wonders what shes lyin for seems when he's trying not to fight, she's always tryin more not cryin more, he vows to work through mistakes for his boy he didn't want his son growin up feeling misplaced with no joy catches a cab, and the ride to his rancher passes in a blur rackin up the nerves, going over words he's practicing for her dispells his lack of normal nerve as wheels lap up on the curb and whispers to himself, "i wont put another act upon for her" for a moment the crickets hushed as the yellow one zoomed then a moment of silence...and thier song had resumed opening the front door, he feels stuffy as a chest cold a shiver takes his flesh hold as he crosses the threshold airs cold as a round of his beers...shes bound to be here lays a hand on the doorknob as the blood pounds in his ears the door creaks open, and his entire earth is destroyed there's another man with his wife who'd given birth to his boy drags the man out of bed, pinning him to the wall by his air tube screaming "how dare you? how dare you!? HOW GOD DAMN DARE YOU!" fingers clenching in, his wife tried to plead some sense in him but he had never been a necromancer...and she was dead to him the man pushed, but Bill was the stronger one, no longer drunk Bill vowed to squeeze his throat until his heart no longer pumped crushed with all his might, hoping for the Co2 to sever his lungs then a cry pierced the darkness...and Bill remembered his son his wife sobbed pitifully on the floor, more or less compusure gone wipin his eyes he asked what the hell is wrong with both of them with no response coming, he walked out of the sorrow-filled room his one and only meagre hope left was that tommorrow comes soon found his son, and hugged the only one still devout in his life walked out on his wife without a shadow of a doubt it was right ....the crickets greeted him loudly as he stepped out in the night |
