I Drink therefore I am

 

I drink to forget, so don’t ask me why because I’ve already forgotten…

 

I’ve forgotten our hopes and dreams, collapsing into nothing more then a quixotic chaotic crap shoot.

 

Forgotten every precious moment which in the end, were much too few and far between?

 

Forgotten all of the joy and laughter, now a ghostly reminder of what once was and shall never be again.

 

Forgotten how it felt to be embraced with such beautiful passion, tantalizing kisses that once caressed my now hollowed soul.

 

Forgotten the closeness of your sweet breath pursed lips that once whispered the words I love you, that now have grown cold and silent.

I drink to forget, so don’t ask me why because I’ve already forgotten as I wipe away the tears of forlornness and desolation.

The last line done with great creativity. I love this poem. I drink to forger. In my case when I did try that just once I only ended up thinking about him more and then in my dreams he was there. I never tried to drink him away again. It only took one time. lol I love the word choices you have used for this poem and it paints a sad picture in my mind. Oh as poets we feel things to the extreme and can picture them so vividly.

wow this is powerful...truly expresses the hopelessness and the loss..

This has a universal subject I'm sure most people can identify with. I like how the whole poem is saying everything's already forgotten, and yet at the same time re-living it all.

It has a very raw, yet romantic feel to it. Very impressive!

good one
makes me realize we drink to numb
all the sensations of pain
while draining out everything else
