Drowning

The bourbon pours and crackles over the rocks.
I lift my leg slightly, showing mismatched socks.

I throw the empty bottle and watch as it shatters.
Wishing my liver would give up on me faster.

Sitting inside, I think.
Empty glasses fill the sink.

I think thoughts I won't remember, so I jot them down.

I wake up again -  a painful room that's dimly lit.
I tell them I'll quit.

Thoughts of yesterday, washed down the drain.

Refraining myself from my own truth.
I'll drown myself in my fleeting youth.
