So go on
Back across the water
Out of sight
Out of mind
Once again
And I'll visit
Occasionally
In my mind
In fantasy
But only
On occasion
When I'm lonely
And losing
My battle
With alcoholism

From here to there
And back
In seconds flat

You're just
A dream away
From me

And I hate
Every time
I wake up

Science can't explain
What you do to me
So it must be magic

Legendary beasts
Fabled encounters
Nonsense words

You slay me
And tame me
And break me

But I'll just drink
To your
Memory

Never too busy to think about you
Never too busy to want you
Never to busy to Jill off to your memory
But far too busy
To write poems about it

We
Are
Allowed
To
Have
Flaws

I wanted to be friends
I wanted to be lovers
But you're so insecure
And dishonest
And fickle

I wanted to be cool
I wanted to be open
But you're so ******* vain
And worrisome
And fickle

I wanted to be stellar
I wanted to be happy
But you're so preoccupied
And ****** up
And fickle

I've never been afraid
Of doin' too much
But this boy has me
Thinkin' too much
