flows like water
i had a friend tell me
years ago, if i was serious
about suicide i should write
the note in blood
this is what happens when
the gin flows like water
old girlfriends have nothing
but evil dripping out of
their eyes
dead grandparents start
telling stories from the
great depression
the old poets will make
you understand what
heartbreak really is
and your lady of the night
her lips will taste like
what hope used to be
you feign choking on
your own brilliance
an old trick learned
back when your ego
was still unbreakable
now that fucker is riddled
with so many bullets the
alcohol never stays in
put up a good fight
and never forget
you always have an irish
goodbye tucked in your
back pocket
Love this 🖤
