Drunken memories

Your smell in the room still lingers
Along with the warmth of your fingers.
I touch the spots on my skin
And I feel myself grin,
Because in this moment you’re still mine
As though I’ve managed to stop time.
But time never lasts long
For in the next monent, you’re gone.
Now all I have is your faded tee,
A few bottles of jack, and your memory.
At the bottom of this bottle I hope to find
A way to make you stay, a way to make you mine.
When I’m finished there is nothing, but I knew that from the start.
Ill just keep emptying these bottles, untill I fill back up my heart.
Now I’m down here on the floor screaming out your name.
This all sounds a little crazy, but who said love is sane?
I slip on your faded tee and pour myself into bed
And try to quiet the regret crashing through my head.
When I finally drift away, your back next to me
Please just let me stay forever in this dream.
But forever is just a lie that you pounded in my head
And when I wake back up, I’m still alone in my bed.
