alcoholic poetry 31

the best lovers
are the ones who
know you won't
always be their's

everything used

people, self
diction, substance

its strength
determined by
our weakness

i know why people
tend to sleep at night
and not in the day

because they want to
know what they're doing
to themselves and what's
being done to them

they want the sun
on their skin like
tiny fingers tracing
what draws them in

they want to be born
in light and die in
darkness

but that's seldom
how it happens
