My Little Poetry Book

Sober

How come you've never wondered about where we're heading?

I could see a long road

Yet you only noticed the parking

Even then, you've got me drowning in you

Sweet alcohol, intoxicating bottles making more sense

You're every step I take--unstable

You're every thought I have--irrational

You're completely in my head

But I can feel my heart pull up at a stop sign

The fog, clearing away

Flashing signals and warnings start to appear

And I think I'm prepared to do more than stay

Sober, I'm lifted from the mire

Once a prince in an armour,

Now a sidekick in plastic

The crazy love induced haze we had

Had fizzled so quickly, pathetic

And I can't help but hang my head and cry

Because now I'm sober enough to tell you goodbye
