Swilling My Sorrows Away

I drink

Because I like it

I drink

To numb the pain

I drink

Because it’s easier

Than falling in love again

#20 The Self Harmer

It’s the feel

The sizzle

The smell

The burn

The sweet release of everything

And owing nothing in return

We can’t keep doing this

He said

Something has to change

I fear that our dynamic

She said

Is too hard to rearrange

I don’t want to just be friends

I don’t want to let this go

You may be able to walk away

But this is all I know
