Life Replaced

I am drenched in silver smoke

With my weekend brandy mates,

Laughing at the same old jokes,

Taking part in drunk debates.

 

When my forces get united,

I will leave the noisy bar,

Soon to find myself invited

To a ride in someone's car.

 

 Midnight dates, adventures, strangers,

 Mad ideas for some fun,

The temptation of the danger

To be liked by everyone,

 

Lust, elation, merging faces

Lighten all the darkest days.

But past love's lost scattered traces

Aren't that easy to erase...
