Coffee cold and dark, about a million spent cigarettes
in ashtrays everywhere,
and a headache that started out in my chest.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I contemplate;
maybe you want to drive me crazy,
So we'll match evened up again.
Now I start to wonder did you get tired of me?
Or perhaps you just got lazy,
too much effort to hold on to a sinking ship.
Because we all know soul mates don't exist,
love gets forgotten, time is a great anaesthetic,
and the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
Well I guess I've been getting over you a lot lately,
and yet I swear in the moments when I'm still half asleep
yours is the face smiling at me,
and being with you is where I want to go after I die.

An absolutly horrid attempt to say what I want to. It's not coming out right at all. Still I need to get it out.

This is good however it seems you kind of stray from the topic but I see the connection between the two. I like the third line in the first stanza, it's good, very good. Good job and good luck. ~Des

Wonderful
Not horrid at all!!!!! This is a wonderful write. I would change the title though because it seems to flow well and doesn't seem like you had a problem at ALL getting your point across!!! Favorite part:
