Poem 6

Bourbon Burns

As our memories bring up the past what we need is something to cut them out

Bourbon burns

We are lying there looking at the stars from the back of your truck wishing for something we can’t have

Bourbon burns

A shooting star shoots across the sky giving us hope that at least tonight we can hold on to one another oh but how the 

Bourbon burns

Memory after memory creeps into the night air threatening to stifle what we have

Bourbon burns

Holding on to each other tight we let the memories fade around us as the stars align

Bourbon burns

We let the slow burn light our way to each other, holding on for just one night

Bourbon burns

. Close Your Eyes and Get Closer

Let’s lay down 

Close your eyes and get closer

Slide closer to me so I can hold you tight

Close your eyes and get closer

As we lay down let go of all those memories and pain

Close your eyes and get closer

Let everything go just for the moment we are together

Close your eyes and get closer

I’ll hold you tight and help you push the pain away

Close your eyes and get closer

Let’s lay down, give it all away to me, let me help take it all away

Close your eyes and get closer
