One shot of *****
...for the girl who told me I was stupid when I was 6 and again at 16

Two shots of whiskey
...for my brother who left me for Heaven when I was 7

Three shots of gin
...for my best friend who moved countries when I needed her most

Four shots of tequila
...for my parents who never loved each other

Five shots of brandy
...for my daddy's suicide attempts, and all the times he blamed me

Six shots of ***
...for the boy who took any ounce of love I had left for myself

*Black.
