I Beg of You

I want to be that glass of whiskey,

So I can feel your lips on mine,

I want to drown myself

In the perfume of drunkenness,

I want to be brave like a shot of tequila,

Instead of settling as the chaser

Like a drunkard reminiscing,

Thoughts swirl like autumn leaves

My calloused heart hardening

The one I once clung to,

Has me thinking not you too

Ever since our trust uprooted,

Our love feels faded,

Numb from all my fears,

When I begged you to choose me,

You chose booze

I see our pictures and it's like I'm a ghost…

But I'm the one being haunted

I remember how we used to be

Now it feels like it's just you or me, no more we

Used to wear my heart on my sleeve,

Emotions opened and seen,

Pull me in a deepened kiss,

Wipe the tears from my chin

Now its made of mortar and brick,

Tears turned to a river,

My heart no longer beats, just shivers

While you're on a barstool,

I'm clearly the fool

I'm rappelling down the cliff,

With an outstretched hand,

Begging you to join me hand in hand

But you're comfortable without the risk

Is it worth losing this?

Please do not let me down like this...

Just one more chance,

I beg of you
