You’ve gone now,
But these remnant thoughts of you add burden.
And it gets heavier every day.
You have a piece of me now,
One I never meant to leave.
___
These tears are new, what did you do?
It’s me who is the one who gets to run away.
___
Distraction and whiskey, and whiskey again.
Whiskey only numbs the pain for so long.
But the night always ends, as we hope for the day.
