Each Second Suffering

Searching the digital screen. Just a word to get you by
This night alone. Will the message come through again?
You take another pill. This life is standing still
You don’t exist tonight
Tomorrow will be the same old thing
Calls on the phone, and stories of drinking all night
Consumed by one addiction

Each second suffering. You wait there by the door
Minutes pass you by. Each second suffering
You’re anticipating. No longer waiting
You walk into the room. To see it’s true
What has it done to you?

You come into work a mess
Insomnia, entraps you countless times
The sun is blinding
Somehow you struggle through. With agony
You take another pill
Watching the clock count down
Signing on again with no response
You’ve given into the game
