I wrote this poem, well a form of this poem, a few years ago. I found it the other day in one of my poetry books. I decided to take it as it was and expand on it, considering it fit a lot ofhow I have been feeling lately. The top stuff is old, tweaked a little, and the bottom part of it is new. Yes it is confusing in a way, but look at the title. I wrote the first part while I was drunk and really depressed.
Words of a Drunk Man

I hurt those I care for�.Why??
Why do I do this to them??
Do I really care for them??
Yes�well it depends who,
Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I bring on these thoughts
Of course I love those who I love,
There is this girl,
I don�t know why
But I can�t help caring for her,
She is pretty yes,
But that hasn�t come into play yet,
I don�t care about her looks,
She has a good heart,
She makes me feel happy,
When she doesn�t write,
Even for a day,
I can�t help missing her,
But then I bring myself down again,
I say the reason that she hasn�t written is because
I scared her away with words I may have said or written,
But I know not what I mean,
For does she really care for me?
Or is it I who have fallen in love with her,
Yet again to be hurt as always.
