Douglas James Decker - one third full and two thirds empty

2014-10-29 7

a can i one hand and bottle in the other
please help me through this night

a coke in one hand and bottle in the other
please help me through this night

she checks to see if theirs coke left
its a third of the way full

a coke in one hand and pills in the other
please let her make it through the night

a coke in one hand and some pills in the other
please help us through the night

she isn't holding on to pills
she's holding onto death
while holding onto a two thirds empty can

theirs a coke in her hand and no pills in the other
theirs no pills in her right hand just a coke in her left

now there is a coke on the grass
two thirds of the way empty

their's also a bottle
a bottle of pills on the ground

right next to the bottle on the ground
their is a coke

a third of the way full
we made it

through that night
