Sober

He tells me he loves me when he's messed up.
He says he doesn't want to let me go.
He swears I mean the world to him
But when he's sober I just don't know.

He looks at me with sad eyes when his mind isn’t right.
He makes me feel so sad inside
When he’s not sober, he makes me think I'm everything to him
But otherwise I can't help but feel its all a lie.

Because there's days when I'm his enemy
There's nothing but mean words and angry thoughts
When he's sober after all his partying
I find it hard to believe I'm the one he wants.

But when he stops for a while or more
He's a whole other being or so it seems
We get along so perfectly and we’re so loving
He makes me feel we're meant to be

We may sit around doing nothing at all
but still we laugh joke and play
I look at him with adoring eyes
And we can't keep our hands away.

I wish everyday were like that
I'd love it if we got along all the time
I know that some relationships are perfect
But why can't one be mine.

I love him so much it hurts
But yet I hate him all the same
You'd think I'd know after a year and half
But we're still playing stupid games

I wish we could both grow up
But the only time we talk is when we're not sober
There's no yelling, shouting or screaming
But there IS talk of it being over.

I just wish he would choose me first
Put me before all the minor little things
A relationship should be give and take
Its not about who loses or wins

I'm pretty sure I want a future with him
But we both need to get our lives on track
I'm just so afraid that its too late
I'm scared there's not turning back

Regardless of where the road leads
I know he's left a stain upon my heart
He'll always be part of my soul
He'll always be in my heart.

If you ever read this Joe,
Know that all my bitching wasn't for fun
I just wanted you to see things my way
I don’t like seeing what you’ve become.

I love you with all my heart and that’s a fact
I've never meant you any pain or harm
I just hope you’ll eventually  find the right path
Cuz I'll be waiting at the end with open arms.
