I find myself
Dangerously intoxicated
By you
So smooth
Effortless
Stringing words together
In a perfect line
And like ***** shots
I take them all
Let them burn my throat
Hole in my stomach
Toxicity
My brain is aching
Splitting headache
Sharpness in your words
Bitterness on my tongue
I crave your concoctions
Passing out in bathroom stalls
At your mercy
Don’t you stop
Sweet poison
Willingly I drink
Mad scientist
Crazy poet
You know your way
With words
And there
There I sit
Slurred speech
Muddied brain
Nothing intelligent to say
But--

can I have another drink?
