Drunk Again by Marcus Jonesin my opinion
the most used lie other than
"Of course I love you."
is
"I swear I'm never
getting drunk again!"
i know i've used it;
you have too,
after a long night of
drinking that concludes
with being in the throes
of a hangover
yet as we are drinking
we don't remember the
last time we lied to ourselves

Posted by Ava Blu on 02/28/05 at 05:16 PM I used to always lie to myself. This is just pure truth. No need to say anything else. |

Posted by Amy Wustrin on 07/20/05 at 11:32 PM I've defintely lied that lie to myself on more than one occasion. You summed up the expirience perfectly |
Posted by Meghan Helmich on 07/08/08 at 12:20 PM personally, i think 'i was drunk, it doesn't count' is a much nastier lie. i like this poem, it tells it like it is. |
