At The Bar- Challenge #18

Closing time, only one left
Head down in a vodka escape
Sadness ebbed blood red
Through lifeless eyes

Twenty years flashed
Like a reel through time
Good deeds gone punished
No hope to find

Bartender says it's time to go
She lets out a sigh
One last sip and a final tear
Splinters against her despair

Last line there it’s “despair”

Other than that I think it’s pretty finished. You have a really good one here.

For catching that typo! Going to make the change now.
