He has become unhinged
After another all-night binge
He is consumed by the fire
Of alcohol’s desire
Yet wait for a while
He has now lost his smile
He will weep in the night
Over his current plight
He cannot control it
The pain has hit
Next his breath will slow
And he will somehow know
His life is not his to own
The sickness has grown
And it will take him tonight
His family seeing the light
That went out in him
The night turns grim
Sleep dear loved one
The pain is now done
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – unhinged
