Saw those green cans in your room today hidden under piles of taxed papers. A cheap empty metal that tore open healed wounds, a putrid scent that infected my resolve. Was I the true Alcoholic? Drunk on the delusion of healing Or maybe you had never healed to begin with. Maybe your desperation was just well-hidden under the smile that blanketed your face and a laugh that made me feel safe.

Green cans
Saw those green cans in your room today hidden under piles of taxed papers. A cheap empty metal that tore open healed wounds, a putrid scent that infected my resolve. Was I the true Alcoholic? Drunk on the delusion of healing Or maybe you had never healed to begin with. Maybe your desperation was just well-hidden under the smile that blanketed your face and a laugh that made me feel safe.
