Wax and Wane

DWI,

no, not I

it was you,

now avoiding me like the plague

Nothing lasts forever

kind of glad it doesn't

there should be a beautiful beginning

to a half life's miserable end

All the stories told

tend to get real old

a world of possibilities

ending with such disparity

Now I will never sleep again

choking on remembrance and dust

yellowed feelings just wax and wane

shedding skins, a life never contained
