Tonight- we will drink until our eyes roll out
down the street
you can’t bare to let your heart follow
but you can’t take your eyes off her
so will drink until our stomachs come out of our throats
those butterflies have been living there
and they haven’t paid rent
so they need to go
so drunk will we forget names
but the invisible tattoo on your wrist
forehead lips tongue blood
like a name tag that I stole to get in
I can never forget
so will drink- to waste time
to borrow a few seconds of clarity
you wander in the parts I want to close off
but you keep the store open
like a holiday that never ends
so will drink
to hope that you are drinking too
