Drunk letters to my sober soul two

In my life, people have loved me 

And they have hated me,

And I am humbled by the harmonious balance. 

In the love, I find my weakness, 

And my solid ground. 

In the hatred, I find my strength, 

And my wings.

I fly with the birds, 

But have no fear to swim with sharks.

Because if you pay attention, 

Even the deadliest of people can show you and take you to the most beautiful of depths. 

Drunk letters to my sober soul

Tonight you're drunk

Tonight you danced

Tonight you fell in love with yourself

Tonight you didn't cry

And tonight you were alone

Tonight you smiled, and just in case you don't remember, 

Tonight you were okay.

You might have been numb to the pain, but you felt happiness,

You felt freedom.

Tonight you found a piece of yourself, and fell hopelessly in love with it.

An if that's all you remember then,

Tonight was perfect.

You.

I crave you innocently, 

Without the need for intimacy. 

I crave your words and your smile, 

Your actions to prove you'll stay for a while. 

Without the promise of forever, I want your hand, 

To be there when you fall, and help you stand. 

To love you when life gets tough, 

To know when to call your bluff. 

When life gets in the way, 

To use your strength to get the day. 

I long to touch your skin, 

To confidently say, " you're different from other men." 

Don't speak of marriage, forever is a long time. 

Just speak for right now and tell me you will be mine 

Empty

When you said, " I feel complete bliss with you." I believed you. 

When you said, " I don't know what love is." I showed you. 

When you said, " I want to protect you." I trusted you.

And through all that you made me believe that you didn't want me to leave. That I was different, but your words are as empty as the life you lead. The thought of being without you scared me, I wanted to show you how beautiful it can be to be open with someone who would stand by you. But, 

When I said, " I'm here, until you fuck up." I meant it. 

When I said, " I see you for who you are." I loved it.

When I said, " She isn't me, and won't ever be." You saw it. 

We were beautiful, and twisted... But we worked. 

Now we are nothing, and it's your fault, and I don't hurt.
