Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
Heaven’s not waiting for me
I’ve got a dinner date with Satan
At the bottom of the sea.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
I’ve been writing words
Alone, in the early hours
Of the morn.
But every time I do
They always just turn
Into letters to you,

And I,

I know I made mistakes
But you know we all do.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
I wish I could say
That I’m sick of writing you
And Captain I’m sorry
It’s you I should’ve listened to.

But if at some point
I can stop writing about you
It’ll be the day that I drown
Under the weight of the ocean
Or the bottle laced with misery.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
We stopped in Mexico
I had a glass of tequila
The taste didn’t leave my mouth
For six long weeks
So I’m wondering how much longer
I’ll have to cover the taste
That you left there.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
So in summary, my dear,
I still love you.
And possibly even more so
I still hate you.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
At this point,
All I really need
Is a decent night’s sleep
Without the bottle
At my side.
Speaking Sorrow Jul 2016
Honesty never fit you.
Not like that dark dress of deception does.
Oh, Deceiver,
What I’d give to be deceived again.
