FOR YOU AND YOU ALONE

Keep your mouth shut when I’m drunk. I hate the person I become when you’re not around.
I like me better when we talk it all over. If there was ever a time I needed you, its right now.
I believe in a long-winded mind. Most nights I putter out like an over-worked, under oiled engine,
staring at a quivering candle, consciousness fading, as I slowly float to sleep.
My distorted reality paints a wonderfully deranged pattern. 
Doubt does strange things to people like us.  We hold each other tighter now that the news is in. 
You’re learning to live alone in a home full of holes with two good reasons to find hope.
One of these days I’ll unwind this watch and live for you and you alone
