The College Drinker

Was the sky stained a dark blue/
The night my love became a liabilty/
The night I could no longer sit on the pedestal fashioned in your mind/
Did the evening envelop you in a cold you could feel creeping to the edge of your skin/
Did you weep/
Did you ever wonder if I was worth it/
The torment you've perscribed for yourself in my absence/
I have found myself/
Tonight/
Wondering if your paper bag eyes still shine/
Asking myself how you had managed to end up on the furthest limb/
For someone who/
Questions Her worth on lonely nights/
Sometimes/
I think/
If the answer teased you at the bottom of that/
Nameless/
Drink/
Was that drink to chase a memory/
Something lost/
Along with the expectations I pushed under the pillow cases surronding us/
Hidden/
Sometimes when I'm open/
I'm hidden/
Have you been hiding for some time?
