Drunken Miscomfort~

With each drink memories of you slowly fade
A life we once shared suddenly disappears
Dreams come crashing down all around us
Worlds end as our spirits collide
Thrown in different directions our hearts start to fall,
Trying to find each other we fall together
Hate now consuming both our hearts, 
From the start you hated me…
And now you say you love me…
As I fall for all to see,
Naked and alone longing to be
The earth suddenly came rushing up at me
Finally I felt safe…
For I escaped both you and me!
