five: a drunken night

25 4 3
                                    

broken voices rising together,
slurring the chorus,
forgetting ourselves.

getting lost under you,
losing myself inside you,
the ninetieth girl plundered.

i wrap my loss around your body,
burden you with that weight
while i fly free somewhere.

i never thought you'd come to me.
but you saw it tonight,
my soul still torturously raw.

i used you like an object,
yet people cannot be tools.
sex will not heal wounds.
