something about a Poem

I wrote a poem about our good friend, alcohol. I hope you can relate and I hope you enjoy.


something about

the neck of the bottle

and how it strangled me

how it was daunting when full

and taunting once finished

there was something about

the smooth aluminum

and jagged mornings

how it burned on exhale

from my nose

frosty glass

and foggy memory

skipping class

or fucking somebody

there was something about

 

something about

the way it made me feel

and how it made me act

more than lubricant

i practically swam

across a sea of strangers

girls and social dangers

to my bed

morning hung hangers

 

i hung my hat

with head bangers

and 'pieces of shit'

but there's none i liked more

than a friend i could sip

something about

dependency

 


Thank you for reading
