Intoxication

Between the sorries and headaches
I bet you don't remember 
it always happened to me.

                                        You were never the first.
                                        Alcohol filled the lungs of every lonely 
                                        Saturday night, killing every late 

hour waiting for a minute of relief.
I never thought you'd turn
 into a monster I knew so well.

                                           You keep bringing me in with 
                                            every half smile, intoxicating 
                                            me beyond sobriety.

Drunk off every word that 
slipped between your zippered lips.
I'll be gone with the last 

                                             turn of your shoulder.
                                             Stumbling back to the way we
                                             started is never going surface.

Take comfort between your sheets.
You'll wake up and forget
 all of this even existed.
