A Chapter Named C

Day drinker

i used to tell myself
i'll never drink
if i'm not okay
it'll never be a vice
i won't drink myself away

used to hold myself to it
stay sober in heartbreak
never drink depressed
don't drown in the anger
but that was then

this is now
didn't kiss goodbye
flip off the metal tab
ice courses through my veins
as i watch him disappear
i'll open another beer
