Another Drink Won’t Hurt...
Burning pleasure with each swallow
I love the way you taste.
Eradicate the stress.
Numb the pain.
In search for freedom
Steps to intoxication I take
Consumed in reflection
With each swig memories fade.
No matter the quantity internally vacant I remain.
How many more sips
How many more shots
For the remnants to trail away?
Ethanol
My aching addiction
Course through my veins
Life is nil without you.
Unable to remember
Questioning what was said
Passively expelling secrets
Drunkenly fearless I am.
Drowsiness imminent
Slurred speech
Coordination weak
Emotions wavering
Artery pressure low
Heartbeat delayed
Thoughts sway
Respirations slow.
Inhibitions lessen
Concentration impaired
Reflexes diminish
Hangover in the distance
Another day
Another drink
Inevitably it happens.
I succumb again.
Time reverses the inebriated.
If only time could annul the loss in me.
Subdue the recollections.
Until then sobriety is not for me...
