and yet i continue

chug-a-lugging chocolate milk
  anything senseless to forget
like you were the best
  or even close
I doze off during crucial moments
   and my soul cries for
    something in you
that no one else had
  what is it
  I wonder
this confusion is driving me over
   a high steep edge
you won't be there
  to catch me
I know this and yet
 I continue
to light candles
 in your name
