I found myself on my bedroom floor, dizzy from seven beers I stole from my dad, thinking I could replace your memory with alcohol. when I forgot my name before yours, I tried emptying my veins, but watching my blood run down the sink brought no closure. my lips are cracked and my skin is rough; your hands left burn marks where you touched me and your kisses took every ounce of moisture from my mouth. I know you're not the one I'm looking for but I'm so cold and a fire is a fire; I might be drunk right now but I'll still wake up wanting to kiss you.
