Talk (a song)
Just one shot, one more shot
and I'll go down
Just one shot, one more shot
and it will make my day
But you wouldn't give the
reason for this
You want to save what's last or what's less
and you wouldn't tell me
the cause of this mess
It wont preserve the...
remaining goodness...
Please light more cigarettes
I need to smoke
Don't be greedy
Don't be greedy
But you wouldn't give the
reason for this
You want to save what's last or what's less
and you wouldn't tell me
the cause of this mess
It wont preserve the...
remaining goodness...
Just one shot, one more shot
and I'll go down
Just one shot, one more shot
There's none left.

I was going to say
this sounds very much like song lyrics. I like it!!!! I like your use of repetition. From what I have seen from you so far, you do it very well. I am interested in the melody that goes with these lyrics. I see this with a hardcore or hard rock theme....correct me if I am wrong.

Hello Katrina,
Welcome back to Neopoet.
The title of your poem could be better. This is a criticism I have of MANY poems, most particularly my own; I have a terrible time thinking up decent titles!
Your language use is excellent. So is the cadence, and you have successfully taken a well-worn theme and made it intriguing, and worth reading.
The beginning and ending were both good, as well.
I found this disturbing, disquieting, and thouroughly enjoyable. You have captured despair, fear, resignation and helplessness very, very well.
I am particularly struck by the two interpretations that I can give it...drinking to oblivion, or being beaten there, either of which works for me as I read your poem.
Most excellent.

This one sounds like the drug scene as there is an added smoking part.
If it was a warning I would like it more but as is, it is a begging letter lol, Yours Ian.T
PS:- I only take designer drugs, they are designed to stop the pain from damage to C4 and they seem to work lol

Thank you for the comments and suggestions :D
Oh its just that I imagined a couple about to like break up so they drank alcohol. And they talked and argued about one not telling things or reasoning out for such actions. an yeah it is like a repetition because their fight or arguments are going no where. No one is solving it that's why it goes all over again. and smoke is for cigarettes :D
