something is weighing on my mind
with all the gravity of an antique oak table
creaking under the weight
the wait
set for a family
a group of friends
something is weighing on my mind
something is eating at me
the weight
the wait
the family
the friends
there is an antique table on my mind
and no one is eating
the table is creaking
the weight
the wait
something is eating at me
something is driving me to drink
the teetotaler stumbles to the table
the table on my mind
the empty table
there is no one
family
friends
the weight
the wait
the shadow at my table
the empty plate
something is weighing on my table
no one eats with me
drink
creak
wait
the weight
of the table
the table on my mind
buried under mountains of things to be shared
food
feast
family
friends
the antique table on my mind
i bow my head
and my neck snaps
