Drunken Delirium



~



Drink away the merciless cruelties of your reality.

 

Happy shots

all around

(for a remarkably sad girl).

 

“But you can’t kill your sadness with wine, my darling.”


Maybe not, but I’ll get trashed trying.

 

Sweet nectar--

honeyed serum--

won’t you take me

away to

some place lovely?

 

Slightly intoxicated,

but.

in this moment

not the least bit in love

with you.


{Drink yourself stupid}

 

"My dear girl, I do believe you’ve had too much gin.”

“My good sir, there is no such thing as too much gin.”

 

Secrets

sticky with

orange liqueur

drip down the tip

of her tongue

and adhere themselves

to her bottom lip.


{Spilling more than just my drink}

 

But those secrets

you meant to keep

are no longer secrets are they,

my darling?

 

She mixed her liquors in the hopes

of snuffing out the

mixed emotions

that festered tragically

in the pit of her stomach.

 

“Alcoholism isn’t pretty.”

“No, but it sure as hell is poetic.”


{But all the great poets die young, don’t they, my love?}

 

Do you know what else isn’t pretty?


Loving someone who can’t love you back.

 

“Good girls don’t have any fun.”


(and the bad girls never live to tell the tale.)

 

I used to be a good girl…

 

“You’re better off without him.”

Am I?” slurred the drunk girl

 

But in the midst

of trying to destroy her

demons,

she created new ones instead.


{Alcoholism}

 

The bottle is empty

and

so is she.

 

Mouth frothing with wine

and blood swimming in run,

she begins to liquefy.


{Ophelia Reincarnated}
