Alcohol

Alcohol
can kill it all.
Kill your words.
You won't recall.

Alcohol
can kill the mood.
But I'm just fine,
you assume.

Alcohol
is death with a bite
death of relationships,
or death of a life.

Alcohol
can take it all
and crumble it
into a ball.

Alcohol
on your breath.
Make your lips
taste like sweet death.

Alcohol
makes me want to cry.
What it makes you say
say about you and I.

Alcohol
masquerades the pain
but only for a while.
Then truth will remain.

Alcohol
turns you into
someone that I
never knew.

Alcohol
will slur your words.
So I won't understand,
but I'm concerned.

I am concerned
That the next two
things it will ruin
is me and you.

Seeing you
intoxicated
is something I
really heated.

And intoxicated
is one thing I
won't ever be
after tonight.
