I always stumble out your door
hungover.
every time you look at me
I take a sip.
every time you smile
I down a shot.
you laugh
and another bottle is gone.
you lean your head on my shoulder
and everything is blurry.
you hug me
and I'm unconscious.
then when it's that time,
you wake me up
and say goodbye
and push me out into the
glaring sunlight
without even a drink
of water.

I always stumble out your door
hungover.
every time you look at me
I take a sip.
every time you smile
I down a shot.
you laugh
and another bottle is gone.
you lean your head on my shoulder
and everything is blurry.
you hug me
and I'm unconscious.
then when it's that time,
you wake me up
and say goodbye
and push me out into the
glaring sunlight
without even a drink
of water.
