Description Drunk with words I know are a lie,
But so naive I'll treat it like a lullaby.
& with that I'll fall into a sleep so deep,
A never ending slumber is what I want to keep.

Filled with dreams that numb the pain.
Dreams that allow me to cry out his name.
You loved me forever and forever is over.
And reality comes back as I begin to sober.

Intoxicate me, I beg you please!
I'll cry and scream even get on my knees!
I need this fantasy to continue on...
But reality is that your love is gone.

My paradise vanished so long ago.
I scream for my sanity but it will only echo.
My voice rings out, loud and clear.
But it wasn't my sanity that I held dear.

....it was you.

I like this, I think it would work better in free verse. Make it a little choppy, get direct points across, because although the rhyme is good, and most people only like rhythmic poetry, this would be intense, if altered, to chop at you the way endings do.
