Dark Bitter Brew and You

Sipping on my drink, dark bitter brew and drunken irish tunes add to distractions that aren't what they're meant to be.

Another heart wrenching sip, I know I shouldn't, but I do.

Time starts to slow-wanton conversations- with every sip your image appears clearer, and I begin to realize I can't get you out of my head.

Dark bitter brew makes me think of you-                                                                                                              I wanted you so bad I thought I needed you.

Dark bitter brew, this wasn't why i drank you-                                                                                                You were my best friend, my lover and my muse.

Without you i feel empty...

But I snap out of my stupor, and as these thoughts pass, the veil of my beverage now appears as you do; cool and appealing at first glance, but as you settle  you turn your back on me.

Dark bitter brew from this day forward you no longer control me.
