drink drank drunk

Feels like the thoughts have flown out of me

Feels empty in here, calm at last

Every torment somehow more adequately expressed in the past

That imminent phase change is coming

That threshold I cannot see beyond

Give me something precious to hold

I promise, I will grasp it fiercely

Promise I won’t turn my head

Won’t disappoint this time

Won’t ignore

Bore my eyes into it

I’m here, listening

All you thought had fallen on deaf ears,

I can still hear it

Blurry muddy haze won’t clear

I’ve tried all the remedies

Found it’s too thick

Ended up drowning it

Ended up pouring in everything I could find

That nagging empty won’t fill up,

It seeps through me like I have no well to fill

Like I’m pouring it through a hole
