[real talk] The weird lonely drunk at the pub with the notepad

in poetry •  8 years ago  (edited)

A bar in purgatory
An open air prison
A willing victim
Whiskey’s puppets, boredom’s throne
Donned the crown when I could’ve stayed home
A family freakshow, an invitation only circus
Crashing the scene I hide in plain sight
Stagger in like the undead, I leave like a ghost
To let smoke dance
And grab my nerves
Burning embers, my loyal love
She wraps me like a mother’s hug
