i didn't kick it until later, actually

december 25th, 2020

i tried to warn you about me
and you didn't listen
so when your heels skidded on the pavement
as you turned 180 degrees
i wondered how you were so surprised

"i can't do this anymore,"
you told me, but could you ever?
my worst moments with you
weren't even the tip of the iceberg
and you didn't even crash before you sank

i never kicked the booze
until you left me
because i don't need to be drunk to be alone
like i did to be around you
