with each drink

with each drink i drink
my brain eases and the less i think
of how we were, and what we'll be

and i know, i need some more
and each day is more of a bore
without the likes of you here.

and so i drink to get drunk,
to drown my misery, how i'm stuck
thinking of you, and only you.

i want to tell you i love you,
but cant, so drinking is all i do
to keep my thoughts away from you.

the alcohol is taking over in my head,
and i long for sleep, but you're not in my bed
tonight, i know, and you'll never again.

but one more drink is all i need
and my thoughts get hazy, and i heed
the warnings of the past, that stay forever.

and with my final drink now,
i'm passing out, thinking of how
i loved you, and always will.
