I thought you would come back by now

just like the last time

I thought you would say

that you missed me

and we would argue

and call each other names

and then get over it

I thought we were made of

the stuff of legends

I thought our blood ran

deeper

I thought you would never

be over me

I thought you were someone

you weren't

and its only the whiskey

and the loneliness

that bring the wanting you

part of me

out

you were always the dream

I couldn't sink my teeth into
