Illusions of Happiness

I'm here on the floor again
God, how I need you tonight
Flashbacks killing my mind
making my body numb
Where the fuck are you?

You and I, how happy we were.
Laughing and fooling around,
hoping this never ends.
Whispered "I love you"s
stealing kisses in the night.

I'm here on the floor again
God, how I need you tonight
Flashbacks killing my mind
making my body numb
Where the fuck are you?

Awkwardly reaching for your zipper
Rolling between our sheets
And still we laughed anyways.
I was leaving the next day
You said you'd wait for me.

I'm here on the floor again
God, how I need you tonight
Flashbacks killing my mind
making my body numb
And where the fuck are you?

I saw you last night
Cradling her in your arms
Whispering those sweet nothings
I thought were mine
But now I know
I was just another warm body at night

I reach for another swig
Of this vodka of mine
Maybe the pain will disappear
And still I've got no hope
It's overshadowing my thoughts again.

I'm here on the floor again
God, how I need you tonight
Flashbacks killing my mind
making my body numb
Where the fuck are you?

Where are you?

    I loved that part that's repeated in your poem:

    I'm here on the floor again
    God, how I need you tonight
    Flashbacks killing my mind
    making my body numb
    And where the fuck are you?

    I can relate very easy to that part. Your such a good writer. Again: love this poem!

    this isnt what i expected from the title, but its a great write! i think it really conveys a loss that isnt death. i understand what this is like. i think that you made an awesome song though it wasnt expected.
    Blessed Be

      Wow, thank you. Surprisingly, the title is what I figured out first when I decided I wanted to write this. Thanks again. ^_^

    This is really good. You have talent indeed. The lines that really hit me were:
    "I saw you last night
    Cradling her in your arms
    Whispering those sweet nothings
    I thought were mine
    But now I know
    I was just another warm body at night"

    i know how that one feels. Its very good!

    That's really good. It made me think, and I can relate (being 14, I relate on a lower level, but it still counts). I liked the flow.

        Well, that's probably a good thing if we're the same age

          I would say so. Gah. >.< I don't like alcohol. Or casual sex. *shudder*

            I don't necessarily think alcohol is bad. All about moderation. 'Course, I'll probably never be able to drink it; well maybe a cocktail now and then, but not really, not casually. My whole family gets addicted to things way too easily, I can't list many non-alcoholics on my dad's side. As for casual sex... no.

              Yeah.. But my mother's family is FULL of alcoholics. >.< And the casual sex thing just doesn't seem.... right. Ya know?
