i love you

holding you near
when i close my eyes
but the dream ends
another day ends

hoped these feelings
would slowly fade
so i pour another shot
pour till I'm numb

light another joint
distractions crawl in
my mind is up there
where no one can reach

didn't consider it all
when i saw your face
those eyes held my heart
and what really hid inside

now you have it all
but i refuse to ask for it back
there's no place for me
now that you've gone

so as i stumble to bed
i slur my speech
words etched out
in the shadow of the night
