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.
