PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i can never go back to where i've been.
you left me with such a horrible tast in my mouth.
the china dolls are cracked, about
as splintered as your smile.

babe, we've changed.
i can see we've changed.

your ocean eyes are turning red, again.
they're about as glassy as the bottle
that you can't seem to put down.
please, just put the bottle down.

babe, you never change.
you will never change.

i've scratched my eyes out everynight
trying to make my mind feel right.
i don't know what else i can possible do.
baby, if you love me, won't you please
come back from blue?

keep laughing dear,
the sound is contagious.
i'll keep crying dear,
your voice is outragious.
we'll keep running here,
we're mice lost in the maze.

we only come up to get down.
back to blue, back to the bourbon sea.
drifting where the broken bottles
and hungry rats welcome the dregs
of you and me.

as it hits your face
there's a change in pace,
and it's in these few seconds
i've been replaced
by a blue angel, descending from grace.
until the alcohol wears thin,
this isn't a battle that i can win.

i've stratched my eyes out every night
i hold my breath to feel so light, (god, i hope i pop.)
i let gravity soak through my skin
til i go back to blue.
until you've brought me back to blue.

baby, we've changed,
but i know you'll never change.
