Separation Supping (Song) Poem by Clare McWilliams

Verse 1

Walked out of your life- And into the pub,
I could no longer keep you as lifes hub.
So I turned to the drink for company,
Joined the singles scene- admission free.
I know it sounds stupid, but I was lost.
Had to dull the pain whatever the cost.
Everybody does it, no need to condone,
Anythings better than being alone.

Chorus:
Separation Supping
Preventing Aloneness
Separated from you
My heart's lashed in loneliness...

Separation supping
To kill that nasty pain
Of losing you my love
Like Electric in the rain...

Verse 2

For so many years you were my whole life
Now I've little to do- boredom's rife.
I sit in the house where we used to cuddle,
Miss it- But don't- My heads in a muddle.
Don't wanna go back- but can't go forward.
Need to be reborn- Got to cut this cord.
I've got to get out- Now who can I phone?
Anythings better than being alone.

Chorus..

Verse 3

Out there I attract potential lovers
But they're inferior album covers.
I want the love back that we had at first.
Its gone forever-replaced by the thirst.
Gotta drink so I can't see you're not there,
Caught in a trap- no way out of this snare.
I'm not me- I'm an alcoholic clone.
Anythings better than being alone.

Chorus..

Verse 4
Pouring liquid haze down my eager throat,
I'm improving my mood the more I float.
Laughing and happy- dancing all around,
Just so pleased with this new life that I've found.
I hope you see I am so over you
I've fixed my heart with some vodka glue.
Thanks to the drink- the bloody wound is sewn
Now I need to work on doing it alone.
Now I need to work on doing it alone.
Chorus...
