not me

(entered in "talk to yourself" comp)
 
 
 
 
met a younger me
bought him a beer
 
he is still painting
has love in his eyes
in his hands
earned the eyes
through hands
and
 
I don't need to tell him
who I am
that
this barstool
is about all he has  
to look forward to
 
he knows
 
that I'm thinking it
that I'm just weak
 
and that he can avoid it
 
 
 
same as me
back then
