-sleepless-

I'm three shots deep
Contemplating sleep tonight...

A moment of weakness, you stated
We shouldn't be doing this...

Behind closed doors, there's always another side
Still feel the power of your kiss
The surrendered look of your eyes...

I'm seven shots deep
And still praying for sleep...

Couldn't help yourself, you said
I wouldn't say it was nothing, whispered from your lips...

But as the door opened, it has its own way
The truth always remains second
And loves slapping me in the face...

I'm nine shots deep
With no hope for sleep...
