Alcoholism

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is
When you
Break my
Heart
Every night
When you swear
You’ve stopped
And then you
Take that first sip

Written Letter

Written Letter

And I'm
Writing you
Letters
With a simple
Pen
Paper
That
With enough
Courage that
I'll mail it
To you

Words
I can't describe
Or at least
Can't say
To your
Face

Maybe
I'm sorry
Or
Well
At least
I should have
Stayed
Longer
Until morning
At least
So you
Could
See me
Go

Because
I loved
You
So
Or
Well
You knew that
Already
Everyday

But even
Though
I didn't
Have enough
Courage to stay
Hopefully
This letter
Explains
It
Me and you

Sincerely Hers

Sincerely Hers

And I'm a
Homebody
With this
Girl
Yeah the one
With her hand
On my leg

Comfortably
Comfortable
With her
Next
To her

Some
But almost
Many nights
Out
But Likely
Nights in
Cooking
Dinner
Followed
Routinely
By a
Movie

Off to bed
Only
To great each
Other in dreams
And finally
Again in
The morning

A start
To another
Perfect day

Date Night

Date Night

Dinner's at nine
So I'm picking
You up
At seven
Taking you into
The city
Bright lights
And a pretty girl
On my arm

Reservations
A must
At this place
Good food
Classy drinks
Beautiful people
Not as beautiful
As you

Live band
But jazzy
Ambiance
Setting
The scene
Setting
The tone
At a darkened table

Dancing in
Between
Appetizers
And drinks
With kisses
On my cheek

A night
Not to
Forget

And it's
Getting late
Almost
One
The lights
Come on
Time to take
You home

Drop you off
On your
Front step
But not tonight
The night
Leaves
Adventures left
With you

The stars
Guiding
Our path
To somewhere
Anywhere
With you

Ending on top
Of the hill
Just in time
To watch
The sunrise
With your
Head
On my shoulder

Finally dropping
You off
On your
Front step
Morning dew
Still on
The grass

On your toes
To reach me
A soft kiss
From you
Sends me off
Off into
The morning

Last night
Date night
With you
One I'll
Never
Forget

Helicopter Ride To The Unknown

Helicopter Ride To The Unknown

My mind rode in a helicopter
And it took me
To the unknown

I thought of you
Along the way
Because I guess
This ride
Was about you
And the future that
Lays ahead

The ride took me
Through past and present
And into the future
Because I was worried
About you

But I woke up
The next morning
I couldn’t remember anything
I felt strange
Different from
The night before
I was older
I had grown up
But overnight?

Shocked I went
Into a room
I was unfamiliar with
And saw a beautiful girl
Lying next to
Where I looked
Like I slept
There was a ring on her finger
I was speechless

I peaked at her face
It looked familiar
But older
Like mine
Then I remembered

Who it looked like
It was you
It was you all along

Recycled Love

Recycled Love

Give what you want
Take what you need
A little more please

Have it
Lose it
Eat it
And choose it

Love
Without
Love

Use
To reduce
Feelings
And
Recycle
For next week

Conserve feelings
True love
Doesn’t feel
Anything
No need to

Cold shoulders
Otherwise
Until
Next week

Then
Simply
Repeat

Lie In Lies

Lie In Lies

And tonight
I want to
Hold you
Or at least
Something
And pretend
It's you

But tonight
I wish
I wasn't
I wish
You weren't
Here
Next to
Me

So don't
Leave me
Because like
Thieves
We lie
And lie
Awake
In love
Or in broken
Hearts

Ironically
However
We decide to
Lie
We lie
Together
And at
The same time
Alone

So in the
Morning
When I
If I
Wake up

Hopefully
What I
Really want
Not need
Will to be
Or not be
Laying
Next to
Me

Take Care

Take Care

For right
Now
For right
Where
I am
I see you
With my
Two eyes

And that
To me
Is
Worth
A lot

Hold my
Hand
But not too
Tight
When we
Go out
My hand
In your
Back pocket

Drinks
All the
Same
Served
By waitresses
Never interested in
Everyone here
Dressed
But not
As classy
Sexy
As you

Business
Done
Behind
The backs
Of others
Of you
As I'm
Leaving
Out
The back door

Taking you home
Wanting me
To stay
Over
Night
One night
One more
Night
Than last

And you're
Convincingly
Kissing me
And saying

But I
Can't
Not tonight
I'm out
Next time
Trust me

I love you
Take Care

In Between The Sheets

In Between The Sheets

And I lay
There
Feeling
Vulnerable
Next to
Her

No sheets
To cover up
What I have
On my mind
How I feel

In between
The kisses
And stares
My reasoning
Not at all
Simple
But complex

Monday morning
Late or
Early
Talking
In between
All
And everything

Complex
Thoughts
Words
Or feelings

Only to be
Summed
Up
Only to be
Stated
I love you

Speechless Words

Speechless Words

Don't speak
For the words
That don't
Make sounds
Anymore
Are the actions
The strongest
Form of
Let down

Words
And
Actions
Or rather
Speechless
Thoughts
Heard all
Too well

And well
Today
Or tomorrow
When words
Form
From the mouth
From the lips
I once
Kissed

The sound
They make
Will be
The sound
I'm not
Hearing
Or
Listening for
Ever
Again
