Love Hangover

I'll wake up the next morning
with a headache pounding all thought
out of my head.

And I'll sip my coffee
not because I want to
but have to.

The worst kind of hangover
is not from alcohol or heroin,
but romance.

Seemed like a good idea at the time,
get myself good and high
on the idea of you and I.

I was up all night
taking shots of you.
gulping down our relationship
drinking up to a long term.

Under the influence
for a whole three years,
but now it's over
now I'm sober

I have to deal with my actions
and suffer from your love hangover.

These lines were incredible. The rhyme was perfect and the imagery was spot on. Full of powerful emotion and very thought provoking.

lol omg i am not doing one night stand or going to bars. i don't even drink. all of these poems are about the samee guy, I met him at school he was a total sweetheart until we became deeper in our relationship. Thank you very much for your honesty though I really appreciate it. :)

I still think you hang out at the
joints and find guys that just hang out.
"What a terrible waste, if you in fact
are writing about your own life.
You are apparently brilliant , a talented
writer, but addicted to one night stands.
Just what it llooks like from here.

Great writiing.
