I had a wee rum and im feeling my feels.

I want to tell you that I hate how im doing

I hate that I cant ever be emotionally regulated

I hate that I cant trust

I hate the way you initiate anything sexual

I hate your hair and your cologne and it reminds me of your bad days

I want to share that I feel lonely with you and when im away I feel relieved

I hate that it went from the most exciting and b...

The Insurrectionist

And I see him now,

Surrounded at the gates,

Sentenced like Socrates,

Refusing to flee.

My poor, sweet Icarus, my

Love, you flew too close,

You spoke too soon.


The guards take their aim.


Dizzy from wine,

I stagger forward,

Towards light,

Towards darkness,

Towards you.

And, an in instant,


I know heaven and hell all at once....

The Princess Without A Charming

(Not a poem just thought this would be fun)


Seated like a chicken on the ground, I look up to see Alexina and Jewl—My best friends—gazing down on me.

“Yay! You’re here!” I squeak, slobbering over my words.

They chuckle then try to help me up.

“I can pick her up,” Alexina offered, a look of sympathy on her face.

“I got it. She’s probably lightweight because of how much weightlifting I d...

Friends With Benefits?

Lately

I’ve been dreaming about u.

I can’T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD—


I think u planted a seed for false memories.

Because so clearly

I see myself waking up next to you

And we’ve lived a thousand lives in this small infinity.


Under the covers,

You show

Me a new religion

After my deity stopped returning my calls.


I think

I could love you even in the dark—


If you don’t mind my brain glitching.

The Drink

Oh the drinks I can drink

When I start drinking drinks

I’ll down more than a few

Liquor all in a shot

If I like it or not

I’ll just try not to spew

Love a rum and coke mix

For my alcohol fix

I’ve got nothing to lose

Oh the drinks I can drink

When I start drinking booze


Oh the drinks I can drink

The glasses go clinkety clink

Was that two, three, or four?

Jello shots in a row

Maybe I should say, “N...

Bitters

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind,

Isn’t that what you tell yourself?

It must be quite blissful inside that head safely among the clouds,

where thoughts of me and what we’d seen will never touch the ground.

Contented peace in your day to day is what you’ve now achieved,

but in your nights, whiskey-soaked, I bet you dream of me.

You’ll narrate a sated life for yourself and those you dutifully ...

Miss This

An anchor pulls me down

Into the depths of my sorrow

Where your face and eyes collide

Blurred by your drunken past lives

How could you ever be mine

Yet bitter tastes the whiskey

That dribbles down my chin

It tastes like slow burning love

Soft kisses blister my lips

Call me back home

Remind me how I miss this...

This Is Love.

Heavy are my feet against the concrete walkway,

Sweat drips down my face,

But I must be strong—I must,

This isn’t a duty of a drunk man

—But more of one in love,


A drunk man not drunk off drink, no, but rather love,

Love that taints my lungs,

Love can be painful—it can,

This is the truth of the matter

—There must be sacrifice,


Non-sacrificial love is not real devotion,

I know this all too well,...
