One to only drown the pain in which you fight
A battle to be loved, to find what seems so mere
Seems you are incapable of knowing whats right
You swallow again as your chest burns like fire
It used to be worse, but now you've gone numb
A mind full of thoughts drive you to the edge of desire
For you want your chest to burn love, not of rum
You sit there every night to escape insanity
One brought on by trying to please everyone
But you don't please yourself, you live unjustly
For its not how many smiles you give, but the one you wear
You've become a mess, one you hardly recognize
Lost are your thoughts that used to write
Once before you were too an eloquent brilliance
There is no reason to rhyme when nothings right
You drink another cup and then the rest of the bottle
The yearning never dies no matter how you dilute it
Soon theres no burn, no taste- its just the liquid you trail
You want someone to save you, but no one makes it on time
You'd never imagine these words coming from safety
One you've never seen and one you will never acknowledge
Breathe you must again before you find this poetic sanctuary
Put down your intoxicating cup, don't you see?
'I am here', she whispers to you in her dreams
She see's you dying and wants to save what she cannot
You have to save yourself, before she finally reaches
For you are her moon, just as she is your sun
So put down the ocean you drink from that glass cup
Cause what you want is there, you just have to look up
