Memory

"It won't fade with a drink, it can only hurt more."

Lips to the bottle

One more drink

While leaning over the sink

Giving me time to think

I lost it all

I missed him

A faded memory

Right next me

His laugh

His smile

Seems like

It’s been awhile

Falling to the floor

As I hear someone at the door

A frantic face greets me

With a little more sympathy than before

But it was a memory

And I was left alone
