Alone in an empty house,
Alone in your sufferings,
Bathing in your own misery,
Searching for an escape,
But wanting to linger,
What can be done?

Reaching into the space,
Grab a bottle,
Pour a couple drinks,
Something small and quick,
Nothing ever happened...

Giggling, laughing at every word,
Suspicions, yet no accusations,
You try to hide it,
Nothing can mask this.

Get out, switch it up,
Tell a friend,
Go home
Ride the toxic wave.

Morning comes,
Head pounding, on the floor,
Then you realize it.

What have you done now?
