One Bottle Down... How many more??

What can I do to forget you?

One Bottle Down. How many more before I forget you? 

Please baby

Why did you leave?

Why can't I forget you?

Is it because I still love you?

Or is it because you still love me?

Two Bottles Down. How many more before I forget you?

I am getting a little uneasy here

The memories keep flooding in

I can't seem to forget you

Do I still love me?

Do you still love you?

Three Bottles Down. How many more before I forget you?

The world is spinning now

The memories won't leave me

Your face covers everything

Do I still love you?

Do you still love me?

Drowning sorrows, but each time, a more insistent voice asks the questions. The bottles should be an escape- but no- instead, they just catalyze more desparation. I like the second stanza with the twist: do I still love me, do you still love you- communicates an interesting off-kilter self-reflection. You'd have to pass out next, not to ask those questions again, highlights perhaps why the bottles keep coming- as long as there is wakefulness, there are the questions that are haunting. Interesting write.

All the answers are in the bottle. When the questions return, the bottle retorts. Like it.

Really enjoyed this one. Really captures how we look for an escape, and even if it does work for a bit, everything we were trying to run from finds us again.

[Starr]

THanks so much! And i agree with that, we can never escape for too long

I tried the booze to forget. Only worked for a second.
"Do I still love you?
Do you still love me?"
The questions of love will linger with us for a long time. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
