Array ( [sid] => 177258 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Four Years Too Late [time] => 2013-12-03 00:46:35 [hometext] => this is honesty. this is what i feel. [bodytext] => I think you made me cry last Sunday night
I sat alone under the red billboard light
it said, "buy a ring, make her Christmas great"
to no one, I responded, "four years too late"

Now you, you're getting married too
and I'm a slob getting drunk at noon
I still blame you for making me drink
but babe, I'm so ***** happy you got away from me

Because,
to be completely honest, I'm a basket case
(I drink too much because I'm scared to be alone)
when I close my eyes, I can see your face
(I'm only alone, because I drink and let myself go)
My life's an oxymoron
and I'm a moron
because I still believe the key
is talking you into coming back to me

I'm so alone,
and all my hope got buried
SHE IS GETTING ***** MARRIED
your pillow's cold,
and my arms are empty
MY ***** GIRL IS GETTING MARRIED

I think you made me stay up last night
I dreamt of Orlando and your flight
What if I kissed you in that makeshift mist?
Would you still be here, would we still exist?

No, because I'm an accident waiting to happen
because I'm a code that's too easy to crack and
I would have ruined it either way
It's what I do, four years too late

Because,
to be completely honest, I'm a basket case
(I drink too much because I'm scared to be alone)
when I close my eyes, I can see your face
(I'm only alone, because I drink and let myself go)
My life's an oxymoron
and I'm a moron
because I still believe the key
is talking you into coming back to me

I'm so alone,
and all my hope got buried
SHE IS GETTING ***** MARRIED
your pillow's cold,
and my arms are empty
MY ***** GIRL IS GETTING MARRIED

I know you found a better man
but baby,
no one could ever love
love you as much as I can. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 244 [topic] => 22 [informant] => pat346 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

My heart is with you pal. I've been there and it all went wrong... I acted like a fool and hurt people. I hope you make better choices. Peace my friend, Andy (Alkyman)

Sad! But don't despair you can get out of this. After all you took the 1st step by being honest. Be strong. I know I've been there. Blessings
