Drunken Realities

I stand here in our drive You said you were coming But the clock now says 5 I’ve been here since 1 Something inside me churns You aren’t coming My heart begins to burn And my emotions are unraveling I thought you loved me I slip my hands in my pocket I pull out a skeleton key It says “Skip” on it I hold it tight in my palm I should have known u weren’t coming My heart begins to calm For it is the inevitable I turn and begin to walk away Just as I open the screen door I hear someone behind me say “Destiny? Is that you honey?” I turn to see you standing there My eyes swell with tears Your love was my only care And now I have it in front of me I run full speed I love you so much My heart did bleed For I missed you so much Then my world stops I sit up and realize my reality Outside I see the cops I get out of bed and walk to the door Outside, I see you in the cop car The lights are flashing bright All I could do was stand from afar Staring at you in your drunken state My dream will never be here For you’re just a drunken ex-sailor Your soberness is what you fear And because of that, we all lose
