Songs, Drinks, and Those Eyes

Those eyes that seem to search my face
Seem so surprised to find me in this place
They always thought I'd have it all
They've picked me up after every fall

Those eyes that seem oh so sad
They didn't think it'd get this bad
There's something in those eyes that seem off track
But from the mirror they continue to look back

One by one the songs kept humming
One by one the drinks kept coming
With each song it's the past I'm downing
With each drink our love I'm drowning

But as I've known for so long after your good-byes
All I have are these songs, drinks, and those eyes
I guess it's too late now to look for a change
Long ago I should have had my life arranged

There was a time I'd sing a song
Hoping my dreams would soon come along
Now it doesn't matter how long we would last
It's left me as empty as this glass

It wasn't song nor drink that killed those eyes
It was the lonely sound of your sad good-bye
For us, songs and a drink used to make us so glad
Now for me they only make me sad

But with each song and every drink
My ability to be strong teeters on the brink
So, I'll just keep telling myself all these lies
All I need is these songs, drinks, and those eyes

You are listening to Dark Side by Eddie and The Cruisers.
I have such an eclectic taste in music that it is hard for me
to pick just the right song but this one seems appropriate.
I really like the movie and the music but this site
is about my slip into the dark side!

All poetry presented here is original works of art written by me.
Please do not recreate any of them without expressed permission from me.
My inspiration was my pain and as such is quite personal.
It is my soul that is bared through these words.
