Even the lips of this bottle remind me of yours.

when I come to it.
(All poems original Copyright of Eva Denali Will © 2015, 2016)
I will love you when your ship has sunk
I will love you when you're in a funk
You only love me when you're drunk

I will love you when your wallet's shrunk
I will love you when you've lost your *****
You only love me when you're drunk

So have a shot, have a drink
chug it down without a wink
Have a keg, have a bottle
Drink it down until you throttle

Just get wasted, just get crunked
You only love me when you're drunk
Don't take it too seriously ;D

ice cubes crack once you pour a liquid over the top of them
you will
you can
you should
hear them crack if you are not too distracted by the sound of yourself cracking instead
maybe when you are pouring your favorite soda over ice straight out of the freezer you will hear it crack
but maybe when you are pouring your favorite alcohol or just any alcohol, probably not even the good stuff, because you finished that off last night and you haven't been going to work
you haven't been leaving your bed
you don't even remember what it feels like to leave your bed
so maybe you stopped hearing the cracking in the ice when you're pouring the only alcoholic, soul numbing, beverage you have left into a ***** glass because the dishes have been piling up for weeks and the only thing that even crosses your mind when you walk into the kitchen is who will clean the dishes once you're gone
but you've been gone and nobody even checks to see if the dishes should be done or if you might need more ice.

My screams go unheard, in the corridors of this hell;
I switch from docile to hostile, for I am a worn shell.
She can rip me apart at the seams, like stitches coming loose,
This cold hell can not be more welcoming than a noose.

Her words render me alert, they ring a bell,
Somehow she still maintains this evil spell.
Even when there is peace, it comes not at a truce,
But manifests from desired words that are deduced.

Sinking into the darkness of one's own mind,
Is both troubling and comforting I find.
For although I am horrified by my own thoughts,
Anger through this is easily bought.

When I have anger, I become resilient;
It's an ember burning deep in me, brilliant.
This fire which burns terribly hot,
Is something I have wholly sought.

My heart often hammers, and I often stammer,
As apologies slip from my lips to the air.
Deceptive lies emit toward the despised,
As though the truth that tears is too much to bear.
Too much to bear for them, or for me to bear?
These unresolved thoughts make me pull out my hair.

Scratches upon my wrist align in perfect time,
To be hidden under a long, cotton sleeve.
These marks I hide are caused by the lies,
And often I think I am on the brink to leave,
Aye, I am on the brink to leave,
Determining suicidal tragedy to weave.
My rhyme scheme here is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven".

The fire hits my back,
Her name is on my tongue.
I clench my teeth and profess her
As being entirely dumb.

She is pathetic, her weakness
Will not trigger anxiety in me;
Let the fire-water touch my back
And I will be set free.

Her words will not cut me,
For she has not cared.
She has turned into a child,
And is never really there.

I am not obliged to fear her,
For she has very little strength;
I have endured this for a
Terribly extended length.

My hands turn off the water,
I step from the shower reborn again;
Although my back is sore
I am no weaker a man.

One day I won't need this,
The revitalizing fire;
But for now it fuels
This everlasting desire.

To be free, to throw off trauma;
To stop fearing the feeble;
To not balk in the face of
Someone who drinks evil.
Evil is used in this poem as an alternate noun to mean alcohol.

Chant that you are brave,
Even as your body begins to quake;
Exclaim that you need not be saved,
Endeavor to alter your own fate.

Affirmations deserve more credit;
Say anything enough and you'll believe.
It's wholly possible to edit,
A new response to fear needs to be conceived.

Therapy is not at my beck and call,
But willpower will help me revise,
Prevent me from facing a dastardly fall,
A pivoting, terminating demise.

Poison spills down throat,
Warming drinker who now floats,
Young boy slits his throat.
I haven't written a Haiku in years. It's probably bad.
Cody Haag Jan 2016
Living with you has
Taught me that it is completely
Possible to love and hate someone
At the same time.
