A Drunk Kiss and Sober Wish

I drank alcohol and now I am fat and laughing inside the dark cave wanting to take all my life back and to be the me I used to be; to be the music I used to sing; to be the sunrise I used to see. When I reach for the stars and dream of roses above my circle of friends who I've fallen out of just like I've changed you. This is what love really feels like. Oh my! I wish it were not true. This is how I feel when I sing but all I need is a kiss! I had a dream once -- a dream that a bottle of red wine got drunk and woke up. And came onto my hand and I dreamed I was singing and a beautiful lady in a wig came onto my legs and I dreamed I was dreaming & I dreamed I was falling into a purple slumber; I told my in-laws I want to be my own man. I want the necktie to be the peace of mind I need. I want the dreams to be nice & not get me into a world of hurt. I just want a kiss! :: 09.26.2020 ::
