I just need another sip

I just need another sip

A Poem by shadows
"

It's about giving up to alcohol and sex in the name of passion and love . It's about how we deceive ourselves and sell our souls .

"

l take a sip of that poison you poured for me
it starts to burn my throat
I close my eyes and forget that I can see
this thing is stronger than I thought
you hold me a little and I agree
even though this was why we fought
but when it's love there's no guarantee
that we won't get hurt if we do what we should
I took another sip and touched your face
you leaned forward and we kissed
I loved the demons I used to chase
I figured out the point I missed
it's that I wanted this all the way
but I couldn't say
you gave me some more drink
just to keep me calm
you didn't want me to think
how all this would harm
I let you do what you want
I let the damage happen
though sins were in every part
for me it felt like heaven
and after it was done you left
and I then woke up
how could I let it slip ?
how could I give myself ?
how could I become so cheap ?
I thought before I started to weep
maybe I'm still sober
one more sip and it'll be over

Author's Note

 shadows
this was born after watching a movie so don't blame me if it's not very good . I just haven't tested those feelings so I'm more of looking from the outside

Quite emotional. Liked that last part about "maybe I'm still sober", but then drinking more anyways.
