Missed You Dear

There was a loud bang her body gave out slammed against the wall A few more steps another thud The door flew open she fell face first into bed Every shallow exhale filled the air with the smell of alcohol and sour vomit He looked on in helpless disappointment So many nights were spent like this today it was well into the morning Another burp vomit pooled on the pillow her face resting in it Where had she been as he laid there awake all night longing for her embrace his body was always hers she let other people in he had drank all night trying not to think of where she may have been he was tired of the mess the pills and wine vitamin b, Rolaids, and lies he existed in cut ties
