I wasn’t drunk
when I spun my life around us
I wasn’t drunk
when I emptied my secrets
laid myself bare open
showed you into the room
where my fragile insecurities hid
naked as my ripped open heart
I wasn’t drunk
no, I wasn’t.
But I guess I’m drunk now
for I can’t see clear
those shifting shadows
is it you
or somebody else?
Guess I’m drunk now
for the restlessness shows
through my fickle scribbles
Guess I’m drunk now
look how I stammer
stumble, and fall
in the abyss
groping
falling
drowning
in the blankness
endlessly
