Tongue Tied

by ThatPeteKing

Let's not beat around the bush; getting drunk is fun. However, that all depends on why you’re doing so. Last week I drank to try and make brain going numb, In hopes that Tesco Value lager would turn my heart to stone. Love can hurt like hell when it’s trapped behind your eyes, Out of fear that someone’s narrative may not involve you. You swallow the truth, lock your jaw, make sure your tongue is tied. The words stay stuck upon your lips - no guts to come to bloom Love isn’t fucking Disney and it sure as hell isn’t perfect; But when the smoke clears all I see is you, is you, is you. And falling into pieces a thousand times would so be worth it; If that's what it takes for a happy ending, then that is what I'll do.      My love for you is imperfect, flawed; it has to stay concealed.      My love for you is imperfect, sure - but fucking hell it's real.
