Drunk
I hate you
I hate the way you glare at me,
As if to make me feel less than free
But let me remind you that this smile's fee
was more than the bottles you bought
and hung on that tree.
I hate you
I hate the way you push me away
then repeatedly ask me to stay, as if in some way
my company is a necessity like some remedy
to keep you from the glass.
I hate you
I hate the way you lie to me
But I know within that the reason you deceive
is to keep my heart's rhythm,
But now I find it hard to believe
you when you say, "I won't take part"
I've seen you pull that card one too many times.
I need you
I need to hear your swaying voice saying
"not one sip" as your senses of rationality and poise
rip like the pieces of paper that we thought were stonger
But all paper, when drenched in alcohol,
will tear.
I need you
I need you to be sober
Had I known back in October
Mmmmm things would be different
I know you don't do it often,
but it's the one thing to put you in a coffin
So for the love of God and my love for you
just stop.
I love you
I love you too strongly to watch you, so lovely,
fall under the spell of your own intoxicating hell
Your mind deflating, air expel
Thats not the way I want to find you.
But I love you
I love you too much to see
anything preventable make you unstable
But I love you too much to continue replacing you
with a label reading "drunk".
