liquid courage

it's unapologetic

how the liquid courage 

     of last night 

          feels like poison in my bones this morning 

the whirl of hope 

and the brokenness of promises 

     are unleashed in the daylight 

                        and it hurts

any beautiful thoughts of you 

are shattered with the realization 

      of how damaging they were

           of how damaging you were 

you're nothing you say you are 

and you're irresponsibly mean

so goodbye then

i'll see you 

when your eyes are dead

        and only the moon shines
