Can't Drink You Off My Mind

My final love poem of the night

Can’t Drink You Off My Mind

 

Usually a couple sips is all it takes

To rid my mind of your angelic face

One good drink and a deal with the devil

Then I can finally sleep in that empty bed for a while

 

But tonight somethings wrong

I’ve washed down your sugar

With a flood of whiskey

But my heart’s still burning

 

The alcohol usually numbs the pain

But tonight it’s just fueling the fire

And sending dreams of you flying around my brain

I tried to tell you I’d never come back, but maybe I’m a liar

 

So I might not be thinking straight

And I could regret this in the morning

But tonight I’m gonna give it one last try and drive on over to hold you in these arms of mine

Because even though you’re not here you’re sending my heart soaring

 

I’ll speed down any back road I have to

Because my heart’s thumping to a knew beat

And that can only mean one thing

I can’t drink you off my mind, which means I still love you
