The Whiskey Burn and the Tequila Sweet

The nest you vowed to leave When you were a fledgling The annoying crows of the big bird You clicked your tongue at Are now turning into fond memories The nights of staying up until 6am After the everlasting drinking and dancing around the tables is done Sober now That you actually miss the Hangover headache hotels It was worth it Just gotta yolo You say laughing the next day The moment you leave is The moment you regret When you realize what All you wanted and needed Was right beside you All along All this time When you’re only Slipping away Fading away From this terrestrial It appears translucent For a few seconds of twilight But as you fade It fades away Leaving a warm brush against Your fingertips The words bold on your palm You breath in relief That it will stay Until you glance down The words of love are gone And it’s all gone All memories gone And you realize You’re crying You left something you thought was Of no value at all Never admitting it for sure But you miss it You miss the loud laughs and tears The whiskey burn and tequila sweet Time racing past you When you’re loving it Time sullenly trodding behind you When you just can’t bare it You’re wondering Hiding away While you think right there Time dashes for it again You put your head up The bubbles still resonating in your throat The rosé still sizzling in its chilling Until the soda oxides The pink bleaching into white A white space Of nothingness
