My good neighbor..
She stares out her window
the same time every night
her body casts a shadow
when she turns off the light
she’s never known she’s had company
we drink together to dull the memory
but nothing seems to soothe our grief
still we search for that elusive relief
when sadness takes control
of our fragile souls
who do you turn to make you whole
Is prayer the answer?
Will it help me find her?
And what about my neighbor?
Will the bottle be the cure?
To heal all her ills, numb her pain
So she can no longer feel
As she sits and drinks alone by her windowsill
