Smashed

The things you need to say,
You can't begin to think,
Without a drink.
Find your way to a bottle.
Lost and losing,
We're all lost now.
You stumble through my door,
Unsteady and needy,
But it's not me you need.
You mumble through words
That only surface
When drowning in drink.
It won't bring him back
To be flat on your back
On the floor here.
At least with the drink you will sleep.

In the morning we don't talk
About the drink,
Or the loss,Or the need.
We just pretend
It won't happen again.
A coffee, a smile,
"Take care of yourself."
We both know you won't.
You don't need me to point that out.
It's too hard for you,
When everyone you thought cared
Has abandoned you,
And I'm all that's left,
Losing and lost
Like you.
