Sour Candy

Sitting on the steps all 'cool',
sits the drunken mage
leaning on his fool of a wife
harboring so much rage.

He strikes her once against the head
he says he's sorry for what he's done
because he almost knocked her dead
and we all know that wouldn't be fun.

A crazed monster caged up on the inside
wants to be free and roam the earth,
but he recedes his true self and denies
the truth as he throws the bottle into the hearth.
