Round 54

it confuses me how you

always want to have your bloodstream

packed with 54 shots of alcohol

to get over a heartbreak

when your entire soul,

nervous system,

and personality are your

three stages of poison.

That poison has defined you

who you really are,

truly in fact,

the same way you wasted so much energy breaking me.

Your regret, fuss, and gripping toll upon your past and my past

kicked our revelations out the window.

I only pray,

even as toxic as you are,

you don't fall lower in the basement of those hard drugs

and continue to use it as therapy for years to come.
