Intoxicated Heart - Visitor's Love Poem

Honey,
you’re not the same.
I let you go…
Now I’m losing you more than,
I ever thought I would.

Should I let you fall?
Not even a question,
I can’t watch you,
Tear yourself apart.

So, dearest,
put it down,
The bottle that is.

If you still love me,
Come find me.
I’m not through,
Loving you.

You say there’s still love,
For me in that toxic heart.

So my love,
put it down,
Stay with me tonight.

You don’t need that baby,
Just take my hand.

I won’t let go.
If not me,
and it's her you seek,
You know she’d agree.

We stand eye to eye,
Knowing your weakness.

Just throw it aside,
Hold onto us.
No matter who you choose,
It’s not going to be alright.

Unwanted until you’re sober,
Step away from temptation.
Hold your head high,
Be the man I know you are.

If you loved me,
You would be here with me,
Holding me,
Not your glass.

Make up your mind,
Another choice,
Where I’m left begging,
Just choose me.
