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
