So here's my challenge. Write a poem around these lines:

Time to celebrate
too lost in the cliché
of goodbye
to drink to the night,
so here’s to you and all your lies.

It's a few lines from my newest poem and was just wanting to see what others would do with them. You don't even have to use them word for word, just the general idea.

It's just a thought
and she thinks too much
too lost in time to celebrate
too lost in love to win
I could never find you but
you were my only friend
there's no time left
for goodbyes and tears,
soggy hugs and kisses,
no time left
to drink to the night
to celebrate life
where do I go
when you leave me
I'm alone
So, really, here's to you
a toast, she'll raise her glass
too stuck in time
too lost in the cliche to know
absolutely anything
same cycle of words
same cycle of life
So here's to you and all your lies
your golden promises, little boy,
the night will hold you
as the wind sing sweet songs
of goodbye.

The strawberry burst.

Time to celebrate
as you take in a bite,
too lost in the cliché
of goodbye to pay attention.

Another strawberry perhaps?
or peach to drink to the night?
So here’s to you and all your lies!
my cocktail of ordinary fruits
that entwine you to stay.
