Who were you?
At the end
No man I knew
Your essence
Was liquor
Your character
Alcohol
Your spirit
Spirits
The numbness
Took over
Sickness
Diseasing
The mind
Plaguing
The soul
Infiltrating
The veins
Corrupting
Abruptly
The human aspect
Degenerating
Generations
But you don’t even
See that
Anymore
Do you?
Eyes glassed over
From champagne
Whiskers
From whiskey
Who are you
Now?
Cat and mouse
You and the bottle
But I can’t tell
Which is which
Anymore
Running in circles
Tangled up
Into one
So tell me
Was it you
Or the liquor
That pulled
The trigger?
