vodka veins

by rapunzoll

sometimes alcohol makes my stomach churn with its lies. the more i take, the less i feel. maybe there are addictions worse than addiction to skin. i can't understand why you make me feel so empty so my glass is always full. i'm scared of kissing you sober, i've never kissed a man sober. i tell you i love you, hoping you'll blame my vodka veins. i don't trust smiles that hide the teeth, but i'm here now, cradled in his palms, tasting his flesh. i once thought his eyes reminded me of oceans, now i realize they remind me of sharks. he looks like someone that could kill me, that's just my type. i forget to say no. the last man i loved put his fingers inside my mouth and ripped my tongue out. my body doesn't know how to say no anymore. last time, this is the last time, oh i said that last time. i fell too deep into the rabbit hole, like alice in wonderland, except alice is the one who fell in love with the mad hatter, and alice is the one who lost her head. it's getting darker, and i'm afraid. i can't stay, my dear, i can't stay. the pen will only run out and i'll be awake all night if i don't empty it of this ink.
