I asked the moon to drink with me tonight; <br />he just gave me a heavy sigh, <br />as though he heard that plea from me <br />a thousand times before. <br />Morning after morning, I don't see the sun; <br />that was after the day you were gone. <br />I filled my cup with wine, <br />the sounds of it seems music to my ears. <br />I wish to fade as you fade <br />with the passing years. <br />Every gulp of it brings the memory <br />when you were here by my side. <br />'You'll be back' - a sentimental lie. <br />My cup was empty and i filled it again. <br />Only now, the tears flowed like rain. <br />'You did want me' - another lie. <br />And i drink with my shadow <br />as the time passes by. <br />I was slowly consumed, like fire down a candle; <br />like drops of water flowing like a passing river. <br />The taste of wine on my lips <br />seems so sweet...I drank again. <br />'You miss me'- a sweeter lie. <br />I drank till the dawn is nigh. <br />I ask only to be drunk forever <br />and never wake... <br />to lie forgotten with the darkness; <br />to sleep forgotten in the depths of a lake. <br />'You did love me' - the sweetest lie. <br />I wish to fade as the years pass by. <br />But tonight, there's just this wine and me <br />forgotten with the wind. <br />With our endless torments, <br />with our bitter tears... <br />There's just this wine and me to let me forget you <br />and the sorrows of a thousand years.<br /><br />Jessel Jane Tevar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wine-and-me/
