Dead Ends

and just friends

Clean away your inhibitions with poetry and alcohol.
And because your heart is filled with words
And your head dulled by narcotics,
Because you won’t remember in the morning
I can tell you now I love you
And this isn’t just another night
With another girl.
This is everything in one,
And poetry in motion
In the way you move and play with your hair
When you’re smiling for me.
And in the morning you won’t remember
The way I made you moan
Or the way you made me cry.
This has been with me as long as you have,
And if kisses were years
I’d quit right now.
And for now the future is ours and my future is yours.
And in the morning
When we’re back to secrets and manners,
And the sting of ‘just friends’
You’ll never have to know
What I’m telling you now.
I’ll whisper into your sleeping ears
That I’ll never love anyone like I love you
And no one breaks my heart like you do.
So sleep off the vodka high
And laugh away the vodka low
And never know
Never know
That I’m your deepest secret
Your loving mistake
And your only regret.
