The Last Time

Water in a shot glass, 
whiskey in a water bottle;
Dial down a wildfire, 
slow down a waterfall; 
So blurry , feel a little crazy
a little hung over on the kool aid 
another shot of whiskey;
Soul kiss melts slowly on the lips
like ice water on a flame;  
Water to numb the fire 
ice to stop the pain;
Trying over and over ;
Crying harder and harder 
she knew no one would miss her,
muffled under that water; 
And in an instant she was gone, 
drowned in the blood in the whiskey;
Knowing no one cared, 
she didn’t mean a thing;
No one would miss her.
