Hangover

Hangover

A Poem by Jackiesinthebox
"

well

"
The awful decisions
And blurred memories
Spiral in circles over my head

I wake up
Dusty eyes
You pull me to your car
And take me home

I stumble inside
Put on a big tee shirt
Sleep away the peach vodka and buzzing high
Waking up then,
To still hazy vision

I rise
Turn on the hot water
Remove the clothes that smell of desperation
Slowly step under the shower head
And wash away
The smell of you
And down the drain
Are going all of the little touches that coaxed me to you.

Stepping out,
Throwing on a towel that smells of fresh rain
I brush my teeth
To wash away the taste of your kiss
Comb my hair
Moisturize my face
And touch the bruise
From where I tripped
Walking barefoot to your car
On the ice

Waiting for the day after texts
Wanting to know if when you said
I knew for a while
You really did
Or
When you said
I like it
You really did

It's been months since I've done this
So correct me if I'm wrong.
