He takes you and plucks you

straight from the vine

Then he makes sure you intertwine

Summertime fine

innocent and purely divine

As he goes and pulls out the center

honey drips from your lips

The quicker the better

still so pretty and sweet

yet damaged and frail

you fear what others are sure to think

so you stay quiet and let it go

surely it’s soon to snow...

the sweet taste slowly hits my lips

it burns as it travels down

an instant relief

taking the edge off

of a frigid life it seems

a bitter escape

the poison calls my name

the more i drink, the better i feel

and so the cycle repeats

until i’m left all alone

drunken and cold

she took my life, no longer whole

let me live

sober and free

dear alcohol: you do not own me....

you said you’d never leave

but here i am, alone

seeing in black and grey

the world has become so dull

cold, dark, and broken

will i ever become whole?...

Tomorrow will be better

Better days always come

Come home to me baby

Baby don't ever leave

Leave me alone

Alone I'll always be

Be better tomorrow

Tomorrow be good to me...
