LOVE & JACK DANIELS

CATEGORY

It  was 7pm on a Friday evening that I discovered that your touch had changed

I hadn't noticed before, I think that it was a slow transition

We drank wine, and sat on separate ends of the couch

You smiled at your phone, and I watched you like a hawk

It was a slow burn like Jack Daniels, gradually sliding down my throat and beating my stomach like a skilled drummer

It burned my esophagus and you don't even notice

 

It's Sunday afternoon and I've addressed the rumors that have spread through my thoughts like a wildfire

I complain too much?

You say that my heart is like an impossible fortress to break through, & that you are out of ammunition

You no longer have the energy to break down walls

I've spelled my name all over you body & branded your heart with my initials you belong to me, but you want to leave?

I've never liked keeping birds that wanted to be free

But somehow this feels wrong

Why do I have to let go? Why can't you stay here with me?

Bring me with you, we can start over

Love is like downing a pint of Jack Daniels & that slow burn can kill you

I've practiced my drunk goodbye more times in the mirror than I'd like to tell you

I want you to think that  I've been strong

There's a softness to your voice when you speak to me, that only I can hear

Have a shot with me before you leave

Let this burn slowly down your throat

And think of me and know that you'll always remember me if you leave

Intuition is a powerful drug, and I can smell the name of her on your neck

Love is like a shot of whiskey in a blizzard

Let's hope that I don't pass out

We've danced to a song that has already ended

It's 5pm Tuesday evening, and I've helped you pack your things

You desire freedom

And I desire honesty, I've held on too long

 This evening I'll take that shot & let it burn slowly

I won't chase it, I'll feel  every sensation of each emotion

I'll let it burn slowly as I watch you disappear.
