On The Rocks Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Phrasing what I mean to say
Is never that easy
So I’m gonna let it slip away
And feel a little breezy
Tired of wanting things I can never have
The ice in my drink
Hotter than hell
My heater is freezing my body
Nothing can soothe my mind
The clinking of the rocks against the glass
Is like a wind chime in a storm
Rain pouring down my window
The only love I’ve ever had
Was washed away
I tied up my feelings
And hid them away
Now I’m working to find it again
Sadly it looks like I’m not gonna win
Love on the rocks just isn’t the same
It feels you up
Then leaves you empty again
Love on the rocks hurts more than the truth
“Cause in the end it all comes back to you
But I won’t stop until I get what I want
On the rocks
A beautiful sound comes down
Why do I hear thunder?
The sun’s out and the rain’s stopped
Maybe it’s my mind
Maybe it’s time
One more drink
One more night
Of you feeding me lies
I keep believing
Why
To many drinks
To hard for the feeling to subside
My broken heart isn’t alive
It’s beating hard though
As she once said
The angel said I’d smile today
But who needs angels anyway
When my smile disappeared and drowned
Why do I keep believing?
Why am I still drinking?
The proverbial wine
Why do I still work
On a love that has no worth
At all
So sit back
And relax
You can’t do much right now
Just sit back
And relax
You’ve already drowned
