to try

and find

reasons

too drunk

to know

if any exist

too lonely

to keep

my silence

and too

weary

to try

and lie

I fell for

you

and that

was a mistake

But my feet

lost all sense

of stability

as I crashed

into your eyes

I never realized

that I could

drown

in such an

shallow

pool

of desire

they say

that water

will extinguish

a fire

but they

lied

tonight

I looked

into someone

else's eyes

and

I saw you

staring back

at me
