Denny's Downward Spiral


Sitting lost in a Denny's booth sipping on the darkening dribbles of a bean flavored caffine boost
My life is the tan brown liquid held momentarily in the spoon
That is slowly dripping farther and farther
Into the puddle of endless nothingness
That tastes of stall caffinee with two creams and three sugars
In the hope that it'll suddenly become a bit more flavorfull
A lie of christmas cars bearing happy greetings keep bagering at my empty door
Shaking the hollow wood in its frame with joyous carols of Lets be merry and sleigh bells
Does anyone realize how depressing this endless cheer is?
It's like a rainbow at night, we know it's there, but we can't see it.
Nothingness is an invading nemisis that I can't stop or dampen
Like Alice falling through the endless void inside the rabbit hole
I'm not even Alice though just her shadow chasing her
Tumbling down, down, down.
