Look within the drunken poet's heart
Notice the missing stanzas
The lines that were too unbearable
To write and relive.

Look within the drunken poet's heart
Their memories are slowly fading in
Reeling in the abandoned feelings
Then releasing them back in the creek.

Look within the drunken poet's heart
The many paths they have stumbled
Trying to forget, trying to hang on
Writing to numb the pain.

Look within the drunken poet's heart
Their dreams and desires just a poem away
Trying to escape the past by living in the future
Their hearts dreaming away.

Look within the drunken poet's heart
Don't break them or you'll just be another poem
A poet really knows how to love you warm
They know what it's like to hurt and love.
