You Made Me Realize

Every drop of liquor warms me more, Than you ever did. Every drag of my cigarette kills me less, Than you do. The darkness swallowed us whole, On the paths of a forgotten park, As I followed you blindly, Waiting for your love, Your love. Heart in my throat, I endured the rejection. The little world I had built, Torn asunder. We were not boats against the current, You simply turned us into them. Abandoning me in a storm, Leaving me to sink, In my vice of self-destruction.
