• there were tears and there were fears and there were empty cups
    and we drank and drank but it was never quite enough to fill us up
    that little empty place is a black hole that just absorbs all but the pain
    the lonliness the sadness the worry and the shame
    but we laugh and smile and play around knowing that tomorrow will be just like today
    and somewhere secretly hope that we can someday change
    but for now another round to numb us through
    to be together yet alone is nothing new
