Repercussions
Head bowed in shame
Face clouded with pain
The days of reckless abandon
Have long been abandoned.
Now reality stares hard
And the tunnel remains dark
Success slips in a hurry
Sadness is ever ready.
Hoping against hope
Home is no longer home
It has lost its sweetness;
Keeper of nightmares.
The lord of all creatures
Now the vultures' prey
Chaser of temporary pleasures
A victim of yesterday.
