One More Drink
I cannot stop missing you
I sit here night after night
with the wine glass in hand
the bottle half gone
every day it takes a little more
just to ease the nauseating pain
your gone that is my reality
there is nothing that I can say
nothing that I can do
your simply gone
I hear the rumors every now and again
and silently hope
they are just that
rumors
I dont think that I can handle
any more blunt reality
time has passed,
they say time will heal all wounds
yet I still hurt
I hurt as much today
as I did then
I try to find ways
just to cope with the pain
I lose myself
I get lost in the wine
drunk with pain and sorrow
friends have told me to let you go
easier said then done
I try to put on a great show
cant let them see how damaged I really am
so I smile and go through the motions
of day to day life
but when it is me
and only me
I let the tears fall like rain
and wait for the wine to take away the pain
