Being drunk is a lot like loving you.

Being drunk is a lot like loving you.

With this liquid mercury,
We'll race away and count the stars to infinity.
And if you're feeling quite Buzz Light-year,
We'll venture into the beyond.
Slow down for a second though,
Because I forgot to hold your hand,
And I don't want to get lost in this promised land.
I need to be your fuel- because I'd hate for you not to actually depend on me.
But as we prepare for lift off- you seem to descend quite easily.

Whispers tell me you've done this before,
I ignore them like I'm drunk.
But that's what loving you is all about-
Overlooking the nagging inkling of doubt.
Trust me darling, there's been quite a few.

I'd like to get away,
But I know something holds you back.
Whilst she's here you'll beat round this old track.
I live in second place,
As I kiss you, I know the taste...
You're just like the litre of vodka that gets me dunk off my face.
Being drunk is a lot like loving you.
But the second is so much harder.

    Another great write and I especially liked this part because it describes the emotion that some people feel in words. Nice use of description throughout the poem. 5/5
