19The happy songs don't make sense
Any more
And the sad songs hurt (I can't play
any more)
And I want to drown your words in my mind
(Like I would so willing drown in your illusory eyes)
Even though your words are sweet as sugar on your lips
Like your eyes (are sweet as honey)
On mine
And I don't know what to do any more
But I hurt so much more
And I'm scared so much more
And it's all because
Because everything's empty
(I can't be sure of anything any more, but) I'm so sure
That it all used to be full (or did it?)
A shelf of unfinished bottles (You were so drunk, sugar)
They smash to the ground and splinter
Around us (Like heartbreak does
Like I'm longing to do)
But the shards are welcome
(Almost as much as you are)
Because they pierce my soul
(Almost as much as you do)
And (almost) block out you
Your eyes
Your words
And I don't know what to do anymore
Even though I know you're sweet as sugar
'Cause sugar and water don't mix, honey
(And I'm drowning in your eyes)
Have changed the last line a little, although am still not completely sure if I'm happy with it. Any help with any part of the poem would be appreciated. (And Water Lorelei, you were sort of right. I'm not going to go into it. Hehe. Nice attempt though! :-D)
