Find the words
After each sip
Fumble sentences
End up upset
Say it wrong
Perhaps a tone
**** the buzz
Drink alone.
Speak your mind
Place and time
Without thought
Nor compromise
Empathy gone
Tough and mean
This world will ****
What it used to mean.
Another shot
Another round
Toxic traits
Of this town
If this is us
Then who are we
Trapped in the dance
Of the drunk and free.
As evening fades
And morning creeps
We make love
Or so it seems
Push aside
All that was said
Awake loveless
And broken head.
Arise to coffee
Kisses and embrace
Avoid the subject
Swallow the distaste
Push it away
Bottle the angst
Whatever was said
It was said in haste.
