...And Then I Met You

Each stanza refers to something different.

Thought you had something better to do
but you just had to smoke up a storm
I was caught in the rain of a whisky cloud
yet I had more substance within my words

But we don't want any decadence
in case it offends the idiotic minority
Oh what a shame, I'm sobering up

"...And then I met you"
The bullshit that makes sobriety worse than death
you make the Hell of crystal meth
seem like home sweet home

Every day is Friday if you have enough money
It's five o' clock somewhere if you listen to their excuses
I don't want to change my high
cause why fix what isn't broken?

Oh what a shame
you disagree with my debauchery
What a f*****g surprise...

"...And then I met you"
The bullshit that makes sobriety worse than death
you make the Hell of crystal meth
seem like home sweet home

I've read every single poem you've published recently with a frown. They're just so blatantly cynical and bitter and.. sad. I've reviewed your writing before and therefore you'll know I mean it when I say I love your style; so I won't comment on that now. I want to note the esoteric messages in your poems; and I don't know if you're really going through all this s**t or if you're a hell of a talent at putting yourself in someone else's shoes... I find myself nodding when reading your work, which is fucked up cause we're both young and we should be writing of some one we love/d, of beautiful places, sights, and other sentimental crap, take your pick... But this... this just makes me want to ask: are you okay?

Trust me; if I explained the meanings behind every stanza you'd understand. The truth is a lot more mundane. I'm actually really content with my life right now.

Every day is Friday if you have enough money
It's five o'clock somewhere if you listen to their excuses -- love this section.

This was an interesting piece. A bunch of little tidbits all rolled into one larger whole, and yet they all fit. I like the way that the stanzas "groove" together in an almost musical way.

I really want to know the hidden things within each and every stanza

[Pryde Foltz]

Another hard-hitting piece

[Lost in Wonderland]

Wow such a dark elegance you've captured here! I loved the poem, the way it read was almost like a cinnicle (sp?) sarcasticness with a bitter edge that I ate up! Wonderful work it was awesome!! :D
God bless
