Gonza

He goes to the bars
and licks them bottles clean
Then comes back home past midnight
something is wrong with this boy

He would help at home
and play with his siblings
But now he prefers hanging out
with men his age

He has starved so much
That his trousers can not fit
However much he accompanies them
With a huge belt

I wish I had a chance
to sneak into his heart
But the key to that heart
was thrown in the ocean

I think the young man has a lot of problems and it would take the loving arms of someone in love to bring him back home, I guess thatz the role you're playing.
Nice Poem. Keep it rolling, girl.

I would have to say his young man is missing something. He is using alcohol as a substitute for what he really needs? Perhaps love, guidance, and kindness.

This happens a lot. Great poem!!
