Intoxication

Slurry words slide freely off my lips
Words I can't quite comprehend
When sober
So I fall in love with ever bottle I meet

Isn't he the finest thing I've seen
Or just a guy I see momentarily
His gaze so sharp while mine remain blurred
Blurred from lust so thick raw honey felt envious

But this falsified desire makes me think I want you
What I actually want is regret free mornings and nights full of sleep

I want to want to be this body
This body shouldn't want to be wanted by a man that doesn't understand how precious of a gem it is,

But that doesn't matter after a few drinks
After the buzz and dizziness then eventually the slurry words
Because the broken find each other sober or not

I guess that's why I prefer to forget the previous nights by lurking with bottles that can't quite remember me.
