It was the alcohol
Blurry gaze
As you wiped my tears with your firm palm
Assured me that you'll be there
"We'll be there"
However, you've never been interested in my story
All I've ever done is vomited them
When I'm not certain of how much I had to drink
You have listened or you have nodded your head
As my eyes were open and you didn't want to seem uninterested
Probably my words were just words for you
Not the truth
As it was too much to take
In blurry minutes,
My mouth slipped with words of your admiration
My cold hand chased your hand in vain to hold
Your lips that exhaled kind words of assurances but never moved to kiss mine
Your kiss would have calmed me sooner than your words, I don't hear
But how can I expect that from you?
When you don't believe how I feel
When my lips can only spill when my right hand has a drink
When I pretend last night was a dream
When I will lie for the sake of what we have become
I know you will never ask
If you ever did,
"It was the alcohol"
