I can hold it together sober, But the alcohol brings out the best and the worst in me The hopeless poet, the jealous *****, The miserable, lost child. ****, the taste of red wine on my lips, As they run down your body and ****, the burn in my throat. ****, the way the mirror image shifts left to right. Holding on to the wall with one arm And holding up my life with all my might. ****, ***** and boys, liquor and love. **** it all.
