love at the bottom of bottle

Fill the silence of our discontent with the sound of a swishing liquor bottle and the popping of pills.

 

We are rocks in each others’ sinking worlds but I’m

 

not your rock anymore.

 

You threw me out of your life

 

The night I let you

 

Hold me

 

The night I let you

 

Touch me

 

The night I let you

 

Fell the love I have for you through the touch of my lips

 

The pads of my fingers

 

And the walls of my ******

 

The night I gave you everything I had

 

And asked for nothing in return.

 

But I’m not yours anymore

 

I’m just a ***** on her knees begging for something more than ***** flavored

 

I

 

Love

 

Yous.

 

I’m not yours anymore

 

I’m not begging or crying with my heart torn open

 

Ready for you to pack another bowl within it

 

Waiting for you to forget

                                         hername

                                                         myname

                                                                          yourname

 

Waiting for you to slip past hateful sobriety

 

Waiting for you to drag me down with you to the bottom of a bottle

 

Waiting for you to

 

Love me.

 

Waiting for you to smile and tell me all the things I want to hear

 

and trust you.

 

But I’m not yours anymore and I hate you.

 

But today when you

 

Smiled, spoke to me like a friend

 

While she looked on from the corner

 

I felt my heart eager for more ashes and resin of some

 

late night whispers

 

that sound so sweet

 

but in the morning light

 

float away like the smoke that slipped

 

out of your mouth and into

 

mine

 

My legs ready to open

 

But then I remembered

 

                                 I’m not yours anymore.

 

For you

 

I’m not worth

 

the lighter

 

Cigarettes and love

 

You stole from me

 

But I don’t give a

 

****

 

Because **I’m not

 

Yours

 

Any

 

More.**
