Alcohol

Press it up to yourself
Holding ever further back from what happens
The truth is pulsatingly scary
A long-term relationship of the soul and the booze
Erupts from outings with mouthfuls of all
All of it, the shit burns
Shattered is all you feel
Bits of plaster fall ontt you from the wall
Screaming silence as your head rams into it
Over and over, the vein pumps
Cold blood into your spine
Fearful societies speak slowly
Words which form and take a lifetime to comprehend
Advice is not shallow
The lips speak firmly to give it up
A pleading look from her eyes is all it takes
To stand your ground formed by the oncoming love
This being cares for you, you matter to her
While your heart cries out to let go
And your mind screams let it be
Your mouth waters with anticipation and a drop is had
