Orchids From Home

Drunk

Free Verse: Drunk

I love everything you say to me

Even when you've had a couple beers

And you're a little drunk

Though I sometimes wish

It was me on your lips

And not the booze

But lately you've told me

That I'm a little boring

And if I keep breaking your heart

We'll both end up

In graves we dug for one another

And sometimes I think

That it wouldn't be so bad.

And just when I get used

To the idea of

Never seeing a face like yours again

You pull me right out of the dirt

And back into

Your tangled up mess of thorns.
