Bourbon
I smelt the bourbon from your mouth
You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met
I cried, but it wasn't a happy cry
I cried for all my restless nights
I cried for all my overthinking
I cried because all you ever did was lie to me
The lies dripped from your mouth like the bourbon on your lips
All I could do was swallow it like it was my last drink
I was thirsty, but it wasn’t a thirst you could quench
~ I drowned in your lies
