As the wine stung my lips. <br />My mind dizzied with dreams. <br />At least, I cannot hope to think it was reality. <br /> <br />I swallowed hard the poison. <br />Ignored the soul searing pain. <br />I wanted you; or there was no cause to remain. <br /> <br />Kiss my bare shoulder. <br />Make my blood speed and rush. <br />Never knew that I just couldn’t be enough. <br /> <br />But you were seeking her. <br />And I remained as me. <br />I chose to disregard the facts and fall asleep. <br /> <br />I crave pretty words. <br />Do not bore me with the truth. <br />I want to bask in the foolishness of youth <br /> <br />It happened so fast. <br />Too soon we said our goodbyes. <br />To this day I still don’t know exactly why.<br /><br />Jordan Phoenix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-good-reason-not-to-drink/
