Poem
Sobriety is dying in me once again The pain drains as I welcome home a long time friend She is always their and is always fair she never lies Just slides down smooth and we fall back into our old grooves My blood stews in a chemical imbalance and my mind finally finds relief from apathy As me and my old friend kiss and lock lips she slips down into my soul And once again plugs its holes I never said a remedy didn’t come without tolls So again the roses are red and violets blend to black And once again I find myself speaking matter of factually But the only sound she sends is my voice echoing back to me I’m downing her and she’s drowning me We can only be what we were designed to be But she has always been a good friend to me And I’m always too willing to pay her fees Just so I can trade my memories for tranquility Yet she is no difference than any other girl who has fallen for me She is still slowly killing me Her smooth curves are beckoning But its her icy contents that bound us And like the rest I always ask what will it hurt this once But it happens again and again another lover With a pieces of momentary bliss and death that’s hoovering in each and every kiss But with her I welcome the former and lace my fingers waiting for the latter Together we clatter through this empty house And laugh for time is now the only thing that matters Let it cast our shadows and we can rejoice that ghosts have anatomy Well that is until the sun passes a certain degree and even our shadows flee Because not even they can bare the nightmare that is slowly coming to be And they dare not guess my fate and dare not stay and wait So I guess its just you and me baby We can weigh our heavy hearts And continue disposing of the memories it carts Just as long as I’m asleep by morning because I’ve been promising I wouldn’t let clean white light infatuate me anymore So lets escape and take that hidden door in my mind Behind it is a mystery that I’d like to find Who knows maybe its death waiting to be greeting me
