“I should've known better.” The mantra of the weekend; Or rather, the morning after. Pounding its reminder into my head. “Next time, it'll be different.” The rot in my stomach; Of the mysterious concoction, Haphazardly mixed together in fun. “I'll take it slow tonight.” The first drink kills time; The second blurs boundaries, And the rest are a race against time. “What did I do last night?” I promise I'm not that girl; Who flirts her way out of buying her drink, And into the arms of a stranger. “I will never drink like that again.” The false hope that lives in genuine words; Until that drink goes back into her hands– And the cycle starts again.

Younger Years.
“I should've known better.” The mantra of the weekend; Or rather, the morning after. Pounding its reminder into my head. “Next time, it'll be different.” The rot in my stomach; Of the mysterious concoction, Haphazardly mixed together in fun. “I'll take it slow tonight.” The first drink kills time; The second blurs boundaries, And the rest are a race against time. “What did I do last night?” I promise I'm not that girl; Who flirts her way out of buying her drink, And into the arms of a stranger. “I will never drink like that again.” The false hope that lives in genuine words; Until that drink goes back into her hands– And the cycle starts again.
