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
