More Bridges, Less Burning

Not a soul knows who I speak of in this poem. :) But, they are amazing.

I raise my oversized bottle in celebration

To another night of loneliness. 

Another night of taking no one's s**t

And most certainly not experiencing human interaction.

How clever. 

Sitting alone, drowning in beer and my sorrows

Unable to tell left and lies from right. 

Sloppy drunk kisses to my body pillow, 

Many messages I'll never remember sending in the morning,

But only one you. 

Tonight, if I so happen to drunkenly stumble over the right words

I'll tell you of the attraction I've always felt toward you,

The certain, secret lust that sobriety has held firmly between

These thirsty lips of mine.

Parched and begging for the sweet nectar of your saliva in my mouth,

Tongue to tongue our hormones ignite the spark that set our safehouse a'flame. 

 

I'll pass out in this bed of pathetic longing,

Waking to the sounds of silence, and wishing I'd chosen you

Instead of this mess and

Instead of this beer. 

Author's Note

Just a piece of emotion that fell out.

"The certain, secret lust that sobriety has held firmly between
These thirsty lips of mine."

I like this line quite a bit, makes some one with a dirty mind thing you're fixing to say something inappropriate lol. I find it very appropriate however that you placed "These thirsty lips of mine." as its own line.

"Waking to the sounds of silence, and wishing I'd chosen you"

This line provides a solemn image and I like it. I don't really know why.

Good work, as always :).

This is something that too many people experiece all too often, but you captured the feelings here perfectly, painting such a forlorn image of yourself wishing for someone more. This almost feels like some kind of a drunken letter in som ways, but it still has a poetec depth to it, making it all the more potent. The last two stanzas were perfect for this well written piece.
