Waking up next to you
is like a hangover
because when I wake up
I can't remember anything
my mind is too drowsy
I can barely move
my body is too stiff
I can't speak
not even my thoughts
So I'll just lay here
staring at the ceiling
imagining scenarios
of what happened
People say that drinking
away their problems
actually helps
But that's what hangovers are for
They make it more bitter
when you realize
that it wasn't a dream
So I lay down on this messy bed
my body feeling tired and sore
my mind still clouded with alcohol
I'm trying to picture
what could've happened
in one night
Then last nights actions
wake me up
like medicine
for this hangover
The night was long
we were careless
We were both drunk
we thought
"what's the harm?"
I stare up at this ceiling
and I realize
your lips were like alcohol
and I wanted to get drunk
You are my hangover
Full of regret,
forgetfulness,
and goodbyes
*
"Your lips are like wine,
and I want to get drunk"
-Shakespeare
