A/N -- I might add more to this...expand on the idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A youth sits with plastic cup in hand,
Its red barrier holds more than is granted.
He closes his eyes, takes a sip and --
It wont last for more than ten minutes.
3 A.M. and the cup is empty while a
Youth sits staring into it's empty abyss. The
Drink that had made a happy future had only --
Only been an ephemerality. Now he has nothing.
Empty dreams symbolize the thirst, empty thoughts
Fill the midnight moon as the cup hits the ground.
A youth's head sinks into his chest as his
Eyes glaze with drunken strength. (Liquid strength.)
The drink will only last as long as you pour,
But too much leaves the pourer disabled and
You have a youth at 3 A.M. with drunken strength.
Drunken wishes that will never seem to last.
Wishes aren't held in a plastic red cup,
Or liquid strength. Wishes are upon that
Midnight moon as you plan, stealthily sharp.
3 A.M. is for cleaning up the plastic wishes.
