Priya Patel - Time bomb

Ticking time bomb

Slow reminder

Of an internal destruction

Your liver cries out

But the beer has already

Gone down, not one

Not two, but four this time

The bomb keeps ticking

Louder to us all

But you have drowned it out

Happy hour lasts days

Why can't you see

The pain etched in our hearts

As we listen to the ticking

Of your life's time bomb

Priya Patel
