Drink It Away

• Artist: Digital_Porcelain_Heart
• Description: A point in my life that I am not afraid to admit. A time when I turned to a bottle bc a love so toxic had torn me in half. Years later I still find it hard to move on. I wish for something to erase the pain of the memories that once so pleasant.

Drink It Away

I put the bottle to my lips
I drink away the pain
In hope I get a glimmer of the truth

I chug it down
I want to erase the thoughts
Even if it is for tonight

It burns as it goes down
I grasp your photo
Knowing you are not around

I place the bottle down
The tears flow without control
I just was to see you

I pick up the empty bottle
Fire of regret eats me from the inside
Life is no longer certain

I throw the bottle across the room
Why cant I walk away
This is not good for me

I hear the bottle shatter
It was simple
It just was not meant to be

I lean back on the couch
Your substitute will be home soon
He will never be you

I pass out on the couch
Thinking how do you look to the present
When your past is in Kodak

The Kodak is referring to how when you break up, no matter how hard you try to forget, it is there. It is permit in "Kodak," which is the most common camera/film used. Yes. I wanted people to feel like the writer is drunk.

You seem to be missing certain small words here and there, but that may've been the intent, to sound drunk in the writing. I like the reference to the "substitute", very honest. Not sure i like the Kodak line, though...seems, i don't know, out of place, maybe.
