Drink one
My eyes grow heavy
I sit in a fold out chair
In the corner of the living room

Drink two
I zone out
To the sound of the rest of my family getting riled up about who knows what
I want to join in
But then again
I don't

Drink three
Things start to get fuzzy
My words slur
I decide to join in after all

Drink four
It's probably a bad idea
To say whatever comes to mind
Laying on the bathroom floor

Drink five
This was supposed to be fun
Not a nightmare
My sister cries into my cousin's arms
As I laugh to myself

Stop

Was I supposed to Stop because you weren't there?
Was I supposed to Stop walking because you couldn't hold my hand?
Was I supposed to Stop painting because you couldn't be the  first to see my work?
Was I supposed to Stop living because you weren't the first one I saw after a good day?
Was I supposed to Stop loving because I wasn't loving you?
Just Stop, because I can't.

She was a dreamer
Lost in fantasies
That she knew would never come true
It didn’t stop her
From thinking of you

Paper

If my mind were a piece of paper you'd be scribbles.
Endless circular motions that go deeper and deeper into the paper until the permanent marker broke through it.
The ink of you would work itself into every part of the paper's surroundings.
You'd be different colors too.
My anger, jealousy, happiness, and sadness.
Red, green, yellow, and blue.
You'd be fine tipped and bold tipped.
Piercing  specific places and blanketing every thought that occurred.
If my mind were a paper it'd be covered with your words.
Your words, too many, overlaid upon each other to become unreadable.
There would be none of my own, original, markings.
You'd be everywhere.
You're everywhere.
I just wrote this because I talked to my friend about how we seem to be obsessed with a person if we like them. They're all we think about. I'd love some feedback and constructive criticism since I might read some poetry on Friday

speakeasied
You keep faded postcards in
the back of your drawer
to remind you of the time
before love was just a four-letter
word and it was an actual living,
breathing human being that was
standing next to you. One
hand slung carelessly over your
shoulder and the other stuffed tightly
in their pocket, secure and scared
at the same time.
This feeling permeated your love
and ate away at the naivety that
your relationship first experienced,
until one hand soon joined the other
and your shoulder was left subject
to the shivering cold of February.
