A night away

I found beauty in your drunkness
I found liquor in my blood

I was barely able to stand
I fell, I guess
But it was good

Because as I understood
that you were there for me
I nearly could see
what you are for me

I paid you a beer
You paid back with your eyes
Came so close
You cherished each of my lies

As I was ready to go
you were not to be found
so I slept in alone
on the cold muddy ground
