I CAN NOT HIDE

A POEM BY JEFFREY DESROCHERS  (USA)
 
(SPECIAL THANKS TO BROOKE HOLCOMBE (USA) FOR SENDING IT IN)

You make me feel so amazing when we're together
I want you in my life every day; unlike no other.
I hold you so tight when we are alone,
Hide from everyone I know when we’re at home
I see you in restaurants I see you in the bars,
not realising what you have done; left all the scars.


My attempts to let go have failed so many times,
but I cannot let go this relationship we have bind.
Someone please help me try to make this right,
I need to move on but first realise I just don't have the fight.


I can't stop thinking about you in everything I do,
when you touch my lips that feeling runs through,
deep down inside me, you touch me inside.
When we’re together these problems I hide,
The longer we are together, I lose all control
You always overwhelm me - deep into this hole.


You have control of me – now this I can’t lie
I can't put this bottle down...this bottle I can't hide....


Now let’s see the other perspective, lets flip it:

I can't put this bottle down...this bottle I can't hide....
You have control of me – now this I can’t lie


You always overwhelm me - deep into this hole.
The longer we are together, I lose all control
When we’re together these problems I hide,
deep down inside me, you touch me inside.
when you touch my lips that feeling runs through,
I can't stop thinking about you in everything I do.


I need to move on but first realise it’s not just my fight.
Someone please help me try to make this right,
but I cannot let go this relationship we have bind.
My attempts to let go have failed so many times,
not realising what you have done; left all the scars.


I see you in restaurants I see you in the bars,
lie to everyone I know, when we’re at home.
I hold you so tight when we are alone,
I want you in my life every day; unlike no other.
You make me feel so amazing when we're together

 
No matter which way you look at it,
It ALL means the same.
Time to put this bottle down, stop causing this pain,
Cause soon this life that you know will no longer remain…
