liquid courage
Drunk text me
Let me hear your voice, your words-- slurred and incomprehensible
But honest for once
Just tell me what you've been up to lately
Tell me how your life has been miserable and crazy
Mumble about how badly you want me back
And how you're no good ever since I left
Murmur something sweet so I have a reason to forgive and forget
Tell me you miss the way things were and that I'm better than her
And I just might believe your dulcet words
Let me hear your voice, your words-- slurred and incomprehensible
But honest for once
Just tell me what you've been up to lately
Tell me how your life has been miserable and crazy
Mumble about how badly you want me back
And how you're no good ever since I left
Murmur something sweet so I have a reason to forgive and forget
Tell me you miss the way things were and that I'm better than her
And I just might believe your dulcet words

A risk here. Wanting to hear from him, even though there is evidence the feelings may not be mutual.. I think you will find the “true” honesty after the illicit rendezvous.
Bittersweet, yes. Wanting to hear from him even though you’ve been emotionally hurt by his actions.
Your poem captures the contradictions at times of love, betrayal and romance.
