Dumb Drunk Love.

You called me crazy, you called me stupid,

I think you shot the wrong arrow, cupid.

I didn't think I could love after him,

My heart felt so terribly grim.

 

Every day I felt my emotions spike,

It’s something you really didn't like,

I could tell by the way you acted

Your patience was becoming fractured.

Hands gripped you but you're a wisp of smoke

Sacred selfishness caused my throat to choke

Knees numb from the hard ground see

I hate you no, wait, please don't leave me.

 

Words burnt harder than a raging fire

I was so sick of calling you a liar.

Why would you always return home drunk?

Like ships during storms in the ocean my chest finally sunk.

 

A stale tobacco smell clung to the air

Every time I came back it was the same nightmare

Empty bottles, ash and thin white lines,

Nothing could've been so far from fine.

 

There were too many strangers in our home

I snuck out the back onto the streets to roam

I had never felt this out of place before

Why did I not kick you out of the door?

 

Three weeks went by in a blur

No one heard me not even a stir.

I barely ate, I barely slept, only thought

About how my mind felt so distraught.

 

I wish for a killer to do my job for me,

I don’t care anymore, I’ll pay whatever fee.

I wish there could be a different ending.

My love, I am no longer sending.

This is one interesting write, and the end was essence of your deep and meaninful poetry.
