Array ( [sid] => 110274 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Poor Substitute For Love [time] => 2005-11-23 19:04:52 [hometext] => Proberly gonna read this tomorrow thinking this; has got to be my worst poem ever but here I go. I'm drinking and its 11.30 pm on a school night being the negative person I am I had to question Why? why am I doing this? and my heart was telling me this... [bodytext] => So drunk, one of the worst ways to go.
Why then does it feel so good?
Is it the escape, The Promise... No

Drowning the heartbreak in Alcahol?
The substitute's taken over me, since you've left.
You left me. I never did know why,
You just left, never so much as a face to face good bye.
Not even a reason Why.
Your friend had to break the news,
And I cant help but cry over the way I was used.

I loved you more than I ever knew I Could Love.
I Loved You, Loved You, Loved You, My Love.
So here's to you, I hope your happy.
Even if its not with Me.

I'll take this drink and pretend my love is dead.
But even this substitute cant provide my escape.

I can't let go my love.
I love you to Much.
So here's To you,
The wine, The Blood.

*wipes away a tear* one word, beautiful. I know how it feels to have your heart smashed into the ground.
P.S. thanx for the positive remark on my poem, 'Seconds Til Death'.
